I have just landed after one fantastic week in NYC, and the jetlag is hammering my brain, but oh boy what a week. TechCrunch NYC was a very exciting experience, and I chose to curate a special edition with some highlights for those of you who weren't there. The price level was wild from a Nordic perspective, and I hope there will be more "entrepreneur-friendly" prices available next year.
Anyhow, great show and I was able to negotiate a 50 000 USD deal for a Scandinavian startup and will be back in NYC in June.
Keep on investing!

While there was plenty to take in on the Hammerstein Ballroom’s main stage, the real action was downstairs in the Startup Battlefield.

- Krawcheck disclosed further details of her team, which includes Chief Investment Officer Sylvia Kwan, who has degrees from Stanford and Brown, as well as people with technology industry experience from places like Vogue.com, Thrillist, fintech startups and a PM from Weight Watchers — a company dedicated to getting women to embrace change. That seems applicable, in a way, for a startup focused on getting women to change how they manage their investment strategies.
