TECH EVENT // NYC Tech Connect's Open Hardware Panel Discussion

Tech gurus, this one's for you.

Do have an idea for an open hardware startup? Something cool like Bitponics or MakerBot? If you do, you likely have some questions about how you can turn that idea into a reality. What's the right strategy? How can I protect my intellectual property? How can I raise venture funding or venture funding? What are the benefits of each?

You can find answers to all of these questions—while at the same time enjoying a delightful breakfast—at NYC Tech Connect's Open Hardware Breakfast & Panel Discussion on Wednesday, November 2. You'll have the chance to listen to and pick the brains of panelists Bob Pasker, a venture advisor and CTO-In-Residence at Accel Partners with over 25 years of experience in the tech and software industry, and Kelsey Nix, a partner in the Intellectual Property and Litigations Departments at Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

This event is hosted by the New York City Investment Fund, and you can RSVP at events@nyctechconnect.com.
