NY Tech Meetup

Attention NY Technologists!

My name is Trevor and I am a senior at NYU. There’s no doubt in 2010 we will see a comeback in NY Tech Scene. With the recent loss of jobs more people are turning to entrepreneurship. However, unless we take this opportunity to bring on board our city’s universities, this comeback will be short-lived. As an NYU student I know that my university’s entrepreneurial offerings are not on-par with our western counterparts. Young entrepreneurs do not have nearly the exposure and access to mentoring opportunities. My peers at Columbia agree.

For this reason I am starting the NYTM Student Group to bring together student leaders from all of our city’s universities, increase their involvement and exposure in the community, and thereby grow the NY Tech Scene from the bottom-up.

Please assist me in promoting our kick-off event this Tuesday Feb. 2nd, from 5-6pm before the NYTM.

4. Email me if you’re an entrepreneur interested in being a student group mentor. (trevor.owens@stern.nyu.edu)

Thank you everyone, here’s to the NY Tech comeback in 2010!

Trevor
