New York City Entrepreneur Week – April 20-24, 2009

NYC ENT was created to strengthen and accelerate the collective entrepreneurial spirit of New York City through a week-long series of events. The conference matched budding entrepreneurs with experienced startup mentors, angel investors, and venture capitalists to provide insight into growing a business from concept to profitability. More than just case studies, each session armed companies with actionable advice they could use immediately to improve their likelihood of equity financing, grow their brand awareness, and leverage existing NYC resources to reach more customers.

At the center of the week’s events was a twenty-one team business plan competition with a full day of customized training developed exclusively for NYC ENT. Selected companies received educational workshops throughout the week focusing on topics that are traditionally difficult for entrepreneurs to master. The goal was to coach early-stage companies on the key success factors that allow ideas to launch effectively, so all NYC’s entrepreneurs can learn, found and grow companies; and ultimately solidify NYC as the East Coast’s hub of Entrepreneurship.

NYC ENT brought together 3,500 entrepreneurs, 70 speakers and more then 50 partner organizations.
