Founders You Should Know - Oct 02 Showcase recap
"the one where we felt like Broadway stars"
Our next showcase on November 13th in SF will be our final one for 2024. If you’re looking to meet founders of breakout startups before the holiday frenzy, make sure you apply now to join us!
There’s something about seeing the name of our community lit up in bright lights on a stage the length of a runway that made our jaws drop as soon as we entered Ramp’s theater for the FYSK NY show. Our first thought was “Omg, we’ve made it.” 🙂 The energy in the room was electric and the meteoric rise of the companies below speaks to the abundance of opportunity in New York. These startups ran the gamut from healthcare to defense, to financial tools for family-run businesses, to banking for immigrants, and emergency response software — addressing profitable and mission-critical industries overdue for innovation.
This was only our second time in New York, but when we pack up the whole team and travel across the country to put on a show, we make sure it’s an epic one. A massive thank you to Redpoint, Ramp, Goodwin, and Colliers – and to everyone who joined us – for making this truly a night to remember.
Enjoy the recap below. As always, if you’d like us to connect you with any of these founders, send us a short email blurb with context and we’ll suggest a connection!
