A question for the #VC community - what makes an event valuable to you? 💹 In organising more events for #VCs, #LPs, and #Angels, I'm getting one particular piece of feedback: connecting with *each other* 🤔 And it makes total sense! It's not often the #investor community gets to connect together, meet new folks they could co-invest with, and potential LPs. Access to the network can be challenging to find the time for. So I've been testing this out by creating more value for the investor community - after all, I can't serve tech founders if tech *investors* aren't supported too. Namely, I've been supporting and seeing interest in 👇 🤝 Vasily Alekseenko's Investor Conference, a Demo Day on April 22nd focused on connecting investor together with 500 investors expected and 10% of them being LPs 👋 - seems to be getting a lot of people interested because of the key stakeholders (and so many of them) in the room. Link in comments if folks are interested in learning more. 🥗 At Colorintech I'm organising some LP/GP dinners, and some other more intimate chances for key stakeholders and more advances, vetted dealflow to connect. Again, people are getting excited but it's kept mostly private. (DM me if you're an investor or LP and interested in learning more). 😩 At more public events, investors would always be a small(ish) segment of the community, because the ratio of founders who want money to those able to give it are so skewed. Is this everyone's experience, and what's the solution? These more intentional things seem to be it, but let me know your thoughts in the comments. 👇 For investors and operators out there, what's worked for you? 🚀 Exciting times are coming up. But it's also a challenging time for our ecosystem. If anyone wants to get involved or any more interest in the above, please let me know! 🧐 Let's share best practices and make this ecosystem more active ✨

Sarasota.Tech started 7 Months ago when a few friends got together for a drink at a local bar to talk about tech and entrepreneurial stuff. Not a single one of us planned to start a large tech meetup that day, but we all walked away thinking that we should do it again soon and that each of us should bring a friend to the next one. So we did just that. 14 people showed up to the next meetup. Then 30+ Then 50+ Now 130+ We do not expect the exponential growth trajectory to continue, but it does validate the demand for the type of event we are hosting. People are excited to get out from behind the desk and connect with other tech professionals. Which happens to include more of us than we think as the world goes full digital. So many of us live in the Sarasota region but work for companies outside of the region. We work remote and often get lost behind a screen, but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy getting out and connecting with others in the community. And that is the spirit behind what we are building. We are on a mission to connect the local community while showing off the talent and resources we have right here in what was once just a tourism town. We are excited about where we are headed and we look forward to sharing more about what we have planned next. A dozen companies and individuals have already stepped up to support the cause with their time, energy and dollars. If you are interested in getting involved (or know anyone who might) feel free to reach out to any of the organizing committee or visit Sarasota.Tech to learn more about how we can get you plugged in. We're currently working to turn the group into a nonprofit and will be announcing broader membership options for individuals and businesses as we scale the efforts. Thanks to all of you who have supported the initiative to date. As well as everyone who will support us moving forward. Organizing Committee: Raymmar Tirado Vladimir Ljesevic Pete Petersen Toli M.

I had a chance to attend the first day of the Calcalist כלכליסט conference… and I must admit, the vibrant energy in the room, the presence of so many #founders, #VCs, and international attendees (including those who flew in from Israel) energized me Despite the challenging time in the Startup Nation, the resilience and rational optimism expressed by the attendees was palpable The conference was a testament to the resilience of the Israeli tech ecosystem, especially the active tech community in New York As I navigated the conference, I was reminded of how much I used to love attending networking events in New York. But with age, the need to maximize time becomes increasingly evident. I found that the most beneficial approach was to be 100% focused, particularly when engaging in conversations Here are three tips I found helpful as I’m trying to be more intentional and present in my interactions these days: 1️⃣ Be 100% focused when talking to people. It's challenging, but the rewards are worth it (trust me, I know, I can be a very distracted person) … but the other party knows when you’re not listening 2️⃣ Follow up promptly. After every interaction, I made it a point to reach out with a simple message… it's a small gesture, but it goes a long way in building relationships. Also, I don’t take it personally when I don’t get a response… many people just don’t follow-up, or even respond 3️⃣ Embrace serendipity and cultivate long-term relationships. These take time, but the investment is worthwhile. We all know opportunities don’t happen on their own, but as a result of trust building which only happens over time (you’d think this is common sense, but it’s worth repeating) Nothing groundbreaking here, but small things sometimes make all the difference As I’ll be attending SXSW later this week (if you’re in Austin, lets connect), I'm reminded of the importance of these relationships. I admit, I could have focused more on this in the past. But, it's never too late to start CTech by Calcalist #startupnation #newyorkcity #israelinnovation
