Hello!

New year, new newsletter, or however the saying goes. Yep, you read that correctly. Welcome to the first edition of the weekly TechDay Express! We’re excited you’re here. 

TechDay Express is the place to get curated news about the startup ecosystem, VCs, and more. So now you can basically erase ‘did I miss something?’ from your vocabulary.

But that’s not all— we want TechDay Express to be a resource you can turn to for advice and insights from founders and funders themselves to help you navigate the challenges of the startup world in NYC and beyond.

So, without further ado, here is the first edition of many TechDay Expresses that will grace your inboxes each week.
