NYC Office Space and Entrepreneurs
The official blog of Sunshine Suites.
Entrepreneur Week is about to descend on the community of small businesses and startups in New York, and the community at Sunshine NY couldn’t be more excited.

From the New York Entrepreneur Week website, a little about the events, panels, discussions and opportunities, and the modus operandi behind the whole operation:
Entrepreneurs are the catalysts for overcoming today’s economic odds, and we’re setting the stage in New York for this groundbreaking event to catapult entrepreneurs to even greater success.
Our goal is to make connections across diverse industries, from young idea-stage innovators to hundred million dollar revenue generators, and join them together in a unifying movement that propels inspired business, facilitates lasting connections, and generates opportunities for more successful entrepreneurial ventures.
New York Entrepreneur Week (NYEW) is the first movement of its kind, providing a framework for unifying the state’s most important entrepreneurial groups with the vastly diverse entrepreneurial community. NYEW is New York State’s premier forum where entrepreneurs can learn, grow, connect and leverage opportunities to do what they do best: drive economic change in exponential ways.
Obviously, our core goals at Sunshine as a community focused on networking small businesses and startups are perfectly matched by Entrepreneur Week, and so we’re very proud to offer an exclusive Sunshine NY discount of 75% off of registration.

Both offices of Sunshine NY-Tribeca and Noho-are excited to announce being a part of First Round Capital’s “NYC Startup Trek 2010″.
What it is, as explained by First Round Capital:
Are you one of the thousands of innovative startup and tech folks working at Sunshine Suites, Techspace, the NYU/Poly Incubator, New Work City, or the Incubator at RoseTech? On January 5th, First Round Capital is making a trip around the city and we want to meet you on our “New York City Startup Trek 2010″. (#frctreknyc)
Five investment professionals from First Round Capital, a seed stage venture capital firm opening up a new office in NYC after making over a dozen investments here, will be visiting 8 incubator/temp office space locations throughout the city. (And yes, we’ll be huffing it on foot!) We’ll do a walkthrough, shake some hands, say hi (please say hi back!), and then set up shop for an hour for a very informal meet and greet. We’ll be happy to answer any questions about technology, seed investing, our interest in the NYC tech community, etc. This doesn’t have to be a pitch session, but we to hear about your companies and find out if we can help.
This is an incredible opportunity, and one that we at Sunshine are thrilled to participate in!

Sunshine NY recognizes the fact that, in business-especially in small business, or when you’re working for yourself-it’s all about networking. To help maximize time and benefits, Sunshine is thrilled to be co-sponsoring Connected To Greatness’s final “Connecting” event of 2009, this Thursday, December 3, from 5:30-8:00 P.M. at 3Ten Lounge.
On Speed Networking, via Connected To Greatness:

Speed Networking events are fun and a great way to make contact with a lot of people in one evening.
Here’s how it works. The first 30 minutes of our event will be dedicated to relaxed unstructured networking. Then, we’ll move into the speed networking portion where you’ll have four minutes of one on one time with another professional. When the four minutes are up, you’ll move on and connect with the next professional and so on and so on.
60 minutes and at least 15 new connections later, we’ll break for another 30 minutes of unstructured networking. You’ll leave with a pocket full of business cards and the chance to start cultivating new and rewarding relationships with those you’ve met.
Our event will be held in the cozy and inviting private area of 3Ten Lounge. Delicious Complimentary Light Hors d’oeuvres will be Served and $4 Happy Hour Drink Specials Will Be Available.

As Joe so eloquently put it, a big part of what Sunshine does is networking-focused, and there’s no better, or more fun, way to do that then a night out. Sunshine recently held an evening cocktail hour and networking mixer at the Classic Car Club Manhattan-check it out!





Thanks to all who joined us-hopefully next time that’ll be you!
