Always Be Closing is nextNYC’s revenue and sales focused event. It’s an opportunity to connect startups with top NYC companies and organizations who can serve as potential customers. After all, that’s why so many startups decided to locate their businesses in this city!

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!

We’re partnering with KPMG to bring startups into their Manhattan West office to pitch solutions across:

​• Office of the CFO tech stack & FP&A

​• AI-enabled ERP extensions (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday)

​• Audit & assurance automation

​• Enterprise data quality & intelligence

​• AI governance, risk & trust

​• Change management & adoption

​• Procurement & vendor intelligence

​Panelists

​Brian Fields, Enterprise Innovation Leader

​Salvatore Melilli, Partner, US Sector Leader – Emerging Growth

​J.J. Malfettone, Senior Director, KPMG Ventures
