We invite you to TiE New York's monthly Startup Open Mic Night event for an exciting night of networking and pitching!   This event is not your typical meet and greet.  

Our theme this month is Heath Tech.  Come listen to Jack Kaufman discuss how he sources and evaluates Health Tech startups for Dreamit Ventures.  Dreamit Ventures is a fund and accelerator focused on startups with revenue or pilots that are ready to scale.

Next up, William Reisacher, MD, Associate Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and Director of Allergy Services at Weill Cornell Medical College/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital will speak on biotech and digital health-tech.  He has been a co-founder, inventor and senior advisor for several early-stage companies in the biotechnology and digital health-tech areas.

And from the investment community our own Board Member,  Sab Kanaujia, Founder and CEO of Dia Ventures, will discuss the healthcare marketplace as well as give tips on working with investors.  Sab is an investor in healthcare startups.  

This December we'll also catch up with our Pitch Competition finalist, Zohar Steinberg. His pitch earned his company $20,000 in Google Cloud Credits.  Zohar is the Founder and CEO of Token Payments.  He will share his experience with TiE New York's mentor program and will introduce Token.  (You can start register now to be matched for a mentor in January on ny.tie.org).

To pitch you don’t have to be a TiE member, you just need to be a startup and/or investor with the passion to give your elevator pitch for 90 seconds in front of a group of angel investors, venture capitalists, startup-focused service based providers, mentors, and a large community of other successful entrepreneurs.

Each attendee must register in order to be included on the building's security list.  

If you plan to speak, please register as a "Presenter".   If your company is speaking but you are not the key speaker, register as a non-member or member (whichever applies).  

Speakers should arrive by 6:30 pm and check in with our speaker coordinator.  Should we need to limit the number of speakers due to high demand our members will be given priority to speak. But don't fear, its easy to join TiE!  Become a member by signing up on our website at ny.tie.org.
