Description

Our VentureCrushFG Pod program is both virtual and in-person (1 virtual pod + 3 in-person pods (CA, DC, NY)). Each Pod has 10-15 startups and 4-5 Pod leads (VCs + 2 from our Lowenstein Sandler VentureCrush team). Each pod will (optionally) attend 4 larger "on the record" VentureCrush sessions, which are hosted in our NYC office, but meant to be viewed by Pod participants located elsewhere on Zoom. Those larger VentureCrushFG events will focus on central themes such as fundraising, recruiting/culture, scaling, etc. and often drive the discussion for the subsequent Pod sessions (taking place the following week), along with any other issues the co-founders may be facing and wish to raise in the room. The subsequent Pod sessions (following the larger event) are mandatory and meet 4x for off-the-record discussions.
We embrace #diversityequityinclusion

VentureCrushFG does NOT:

• take equity
• charge
• require anyone to do business with anyone else
• promote competition between founders, or have a demo day (we do NOT stack rank our startups, require them to seek funding, dictate when they seek funding, or on what terms).
