Over the past few years, we at 8VC have been big believers in the acceleration of the New York startup ecosystem, especially broaching into categories such as B2B SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and enterprise infrastructure, as well as contrarian backers of Yale founders.

We're delighted to be co-hosting a panel of Yale alumni founders in NYC on September 28th at 6:30 PM in 335 Madison Avenue. This panel will be moderated by Bhaskar Ghosh, Partner & CTO at 8VC, and will cover the zero-to-one founder journey: challenges in hiring and scaling an organization, inspiring a team, finding product-market fit, and knowing when to pivot. We're joined by incredible co-sponsors in Accelerate Yale, Yale Ventures, Friends of Yale from Industry (FYI), and the Y Startup Index

Our panelists include Michael Chime (Founder, CEO @ Prepared), Ashley Edwards (Founder, CEO @ MindRight Health), Sean Hundtofte (Founder, CEO @ Solve Finance), and Victor Hunt (fmr Founder, CEO @ Astorian).

We welcome any interested members of the Yale ecosystem, as well as entrepreneurially minded NYC engineers and product folks who might enjoy this experience.
