There’s more than just big enterprise in the Big Apple. The New York City startup scene has seen a boom in recent years, making its case as a viable alternative to The Valley for those who want to grow their tech startup in EST. That’s why Tech Cocktail is thrilled to be bringing the Mixer parade back to The City That Never Sleeps.
On May 2nd, Tech Cocktail is headed to Projective Space in NYC for an evening of startups, local tech enthusiasts, and great conversation- served over cocktails, of course.
