Close a huge enterprise deal on February 18th.
We are grateful to our sponsor Foley Hoag for supporting this event and nextNYC as a whole! Foley partners with high growth technology companies and the investors powering their innovation, from idea to exit. Their lawyers have a passion for the emerging company and venture capital industry, which is in their DNA as a firm. They have been there since the beginning, as true collaborators to their clients. They have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities entrepreneurs face, and provide them with practical and creative advice on company formation, fund formation, organizational structure, inter-founder matters, private financings and general corporate governance.
Always Be Closing is nextNYC’s revenue and sales focused event.
It’s an opportunity for startups to connect with and pitch top NYC companies and organizations who can serve as potential customers. After all, that’s why so many startups decided to locate their businesses here!
We gather key decision makers in specific business areas who have shared their challenges and opportunities to run their businesses better. Startups will apply to get the opportunity to pitch their products and solutions in-person. Our partner companies may not have an obligation to work with you, but the opportunity is yours to lose!
