Hello from New York City! 🗽 What a week it's been! 

We kicked off with an energizing morning meetup with the Foreign Founders community. Huge thanks to our partners Andy Nobutaka Chiang, Danielle Goldman and Kaila J. Lim at Antler for making it possible!

On Wednesday, we had a blast meeting student entrepreneurs at Columbia University for our event with 1517 Fund x General Catalyst. 

We ended the week on a high note with a panel conversation with @Sagnik Basu, Alexandra Debow and Ankur Nagpal where we shared tips for immigrant founders and fundraising advice.
