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.

One of the most exciting startups to take advantage of the location-based elements of social media is Yipit, the location-based deal-finding service that, amongst other things, helped me find a great deal on a Peacoat near the Tribeca Sunshine office (the office Yipit also calls home).
Sunshine is thrilled to announce that we’ve recently partnered with Yipit to present special, Shiners-only internal deals via Yipit for Sunshine-sales based more on entrepreneurial needs than fashion finds.
Rather than, say, a fantastic deal at a super-secret password-protected designer sample sale, the Shiners-only deals from Yipit consist of saving 38% on UPS shipping services, or 75% on Paychex payroll solutions. Essentially, these are deals tailor-made to the needs of the small business and startup communities that are harbored, fostured and nurtured within the Sunshine New York office space solution community, and just one more reason Sunshine is an essential facet of the entreprenurial community of New York.
I see a lot of presentations. Every month at the NY Tech Meetup I see at least 7 or 8 presentations, in the other community events I attend I see more, and as a VC, first at Rose Tech Ventures and now at Flybridge Capital Partners, I see even more.
Last month, while I was attending another meetup, I saw almost every “demo sin” imaginable… so I took notes.
Sunshine Managing Partner Cheni Y recently sat down with a fledgling entrepreneur of the youngest sort-an 8th grader who turned out to be an excellent writer and incredibly inquisitive-for an excellent interview.
Start-ups take tons of money. I mean look at the recent start-up Dropbox, before you can get capital from investors, your going to need a place to network and build your company, for a cheap price. Once you have a basic business plan, investors will come to help you build your company. Won’t you need a place to do this, to create your business plan? Once you have your buisiness going, won’t you need a place to run it? That’s where Sunshine Suites steps in.
Over at the Another Sam Chan blog, there’s a great interview with Sunshine co-founder Cheni Yerushalmi , where he talks passion, drive, entrepreneurship and sports. It’s a really strikingly candid interview where Cheni offers words of wisdom for young, fresh-out-of-college men and women:
“I think that you have to have that ‘itch’ that you can never finish scratching. I think you have to notice opportunity and you have to be hungry because people’s biggest fear is change. That everybody’s not set out to be an entrepreneur? I agree with that. If you’re too content with your life, and you don’t have anything to reach for or you’re afraid (for better or worse) of change? Then you’re probably not meant to be an entrepreneur. The people around here, and there’s thousands of them. They all have one thing in common. They’re all hungry. You could see it in their eyes. Between all these entrepreneurs, I think you can tell very quickly on a person that they are constantly looking for opportunities.”
The First Round Capital Startup Trek hit both Sunshine offices this past Tuesday. Here’s a quick video clip-watch for the special guest appearance by the guys from Yipit, who call our Tribeca offices home!
Sobridge Media recently threw some very, very kind words the way of Sunshine:
Sunshine Suites is a place where you can grow your own start-up. A place to grow your own and become something more than what you already are. I rarely promote other companies, but I believe Sunshine Suites is one of few companies that actually work as a good incubator!

I am unable to wrap my head around the fact as to why any
entrepreneur in NYC would not be in this building
considering the price and networking opportunities.

We will certainly never find a better price and I would be surprised if we will ever find the same service we get at sunshine.
