Ivy+ Founder x Funders Mixer Brings University Networks Into the First Conversation
A shared university name can make the first introduction easier. The value of the room begins when that familiarity turns into a more specific conversation about the company being built.
NGEN is convening early-stage founders and investors from university networks for an application-based evening of networking and mentorship in New York. The format uses affiliation as an opening, then asks the people in the room to do the harder work of turning access into useful exchange.
Why this room matters
A shared university name can make the first introduction easier. The value of the room begins when that familiarity turns into a more specific conversation about the company being built. The useful measure is what the people in the room can understand, decide or carry into the work after the event ends.
