About this event
Behind every funded Upstate NY company is a founder who heard “not yet” more than once, and an investor who kept believing. This is your night to look back at the year and raise a glass to it.
Join Launch NY for a happy hour at La Bola Rochester to celebrate another year for Upstate NY’s entrepreneurial ecosystem: the founders building companies and the investors funding them.
What this is:
A casual networking event. No pitches required. The room is yours to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
Who it’s for:
Founders: Meet the investors who back Upstate NY companies, and the founders walking the same road.
Investors: Meet the founders building here, in a relaxed setting instead of a pitch meeting.
What to expect:
