Please join us for the launch of the Aussie Founders Network NYC Chapter!
The Aussie Founders Network was started in Silicon Valley three years ago by Aussie founders with a mission to support Aussie tech founders and startups land and expand into the USA Market and scale to success!
There is already great connectedness amongst the Aussie tech and entrepreneurial community in NYC and we are excited to harness and grow the pay-it-forward founder expertise, knowledge and experiences to ensure Australian founded startups prosper globally.
Please come and celebrate the AFN NYC Launch. There will be drinks, delicious appetizers, and discussion!
