We cordially invite you to take part in TiE New York's monthly Startup Open Mic Night event on Tuesday, November 9 starting at 6:00 PM, for an exciting night of virtual networking and pitching. Jesse Pujji will be serving as our guest speaker for the event.

Jesse is an entrepreneur, investor and executive whose passion is helping people learn and grow through the power of entrepreneurship. He currently serves as Founder & CEO of Gateway X and as Executive Chairman of Ampush and MySubscriptionAddiction.com.

 Prior to GX, Jesse co-founded and was CEO of Ampush. During his tenure, Ampush grew to over 100 Ampushers, managed over $1BN of digital media spend and partnered with brands such as Dollar Shave Club, Uber, Birchbox and Hulu. He also led efforts in two strategic acquisitions, one divestiture and raising $15M from Red Ventures.

 Prior to Ampush, Jesse started his career with short stints at both Goldman Sachs and McKinsey. In 2006, Jesse graduated from The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School with a dual concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship, and a second degree in Political Science.

 He lives in St. Louis, MO with his wife Deepika, his son Ricky and his daughter Serena. Outside of work, you can find him traveling, playing tennis, watching Pixar movies and indulging in dark chocolate.

To pitch at this event, you don’t have to be a TiE member, you just need to be an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur with a passion to share your idea that may change our world. You will be given a safe entrepreneurial friendly virtual space to deliver an elevator pitch for 2 minutes in presence of a group of mentors, angel investors, venture capitalists, startup-focused service providers, and a very supportive community of successful entrepreneurs.

Please note, as we continue with our virtual programming we will be circulating the Zoom links on the day of the event by noon EST for evening events (for lunch events, the link will be sent the night prior). Your attendee link will be sent to the email address you registered with. If you have not received a Zoom link, please check your spam, then email Maggie Trabucco at [email protected].
