The Hatchery - New York Dot Comers

Investor Series with Somak Chattopadhyay, Tribeca Ventures

June 29, 2012 · 12:00 PM
The Hatchery

As part of The Hatchery program to help companies succeed we will be holding a regular limited seating series of investors, serial entrepreneurs, and key executives that can help active companies gain insights to the challenges they face NOW.

These are intimate sessions offering those who attend insights and dialog. Panel discussions are great, but often the issues are specific.

Who should attend: those raising venture funding. We will discuss how VC's look at deals, how they think about who to put money into. How a vetting process works. Valuations and term sheets.

Somak Chattopadhyay has been operating or investing in early stage startups in the NY metro area since 1999. Somak leads investments in a variety of sectors including digital media, information services, and the Software-as-a-Service sectors.

Somak is a member of the board of directors at Altruik, StepOut, Mobile Commons, ReachForce and Truveris. Previously, he was at Edison Venture Fund, where he sourced and evaluated investments in the tech-enabled services sector and launched the firm’s New York office.

Prior to entering the venture capital industry, Somak held senior marketing/business development roles at Medtower, a pharmaceutical IT software company and DealTime, a comparison shopping company that was later acquired by eBay.

All future Hatchery events are free for members of The Hatchery space (500 Seventh Ave, 17th floor)

All others $10

Lunch is included

its a conversation to get info. the point is most startups don't get it when it comes to investors and more so negotiating deals. here is an opportunity for access and clarity.
