Picture of the Day: New York City

I spent time this week in the “tech startup hotbed” of New York with the Chapter One team. We had an exciting and productive week meeting with folks such as Cendana Capital, MXV Capital, Work-Bench, and a number of other PE/VC funds and limited partners (including funds and family offices).

The PE/VC and technology scene in New York has changed a lot. Sequoia Capital is among notable venture firms that have expanded in New York, opening an office there in July. Andreessen Horowitz, GGV Capital, Index and Lightspeed Venture Partners expanded their presence in the city in 2022.
