#newtovc is an educational series for a group of relatively new investors who want to be exposed to the best venture and startup thinking. This is a group of accredited investors and non-partner VCs that skew, not exclusively, but intentionally towards diverse backgrounds.

Speakers: 

Brad Burnham, Partner at Union Square Ventures

Union Square Ventures is a thesis-driven venture capital firm focused on early-stage, growth-capital, late-stage, and startup financing. Since 2003, they have invested in over 100 companies that use the power of the internet to reshape markets.

Charlie O'Donnell, Founder & Sole Partner at Brooklyn Bridge Ventures

Brooklyn Bridge Ventures manages three funds, leading or co-leading investments of around $400,000 in New York City companies that have yet to raise $750,000 in prior rounds. BBV is the first venture capital fund based in Brooklyn, NY. Conversations often start pre-product and pre-deck.
