Trek Dispatch — New York City Edition

New York City

A journey into the world's financial capital. From the oldest VCs in the game to the titans of Private Equity and the builders of tomorrow.

Seven firms and organizations across two days. TVG members rang the NYSE Opening Bell, met with partners at Bessemer Venture Partners and NEA, explored growth investing at Insight Partners, and connected with cyber-focused Team8. The trip culminated with a student-venture happy hour in Tribeca and breakfast with Adam Dell in SoHo.
