About:

Ignite is a fast-paced presentation style that gives you the opportunity to share lessons learned with a room full of drunk entrepreneurs. But there's a catch: your presentation is limited to exactly five minutes and twenty slides - and those slides advance automatically every 15 seconds. Like running a startup, giving an Ignite presentation is a harrowing experience that feels great to have done and garners you lots of admirers.

Ignite: Lean Startup is sponsored by the NYC Lean Startup Meetup and is generously hosted by Pivotal Labs.

Featuring: Top-Shelf Open Bar, Sandwiches, DJ and more. Professional bartenders Tom Richter and Brandon Bramhall will be on hand to serve up some incredible cocktails.
