Ask HN: How you network in NYC as a founder from out of town
2 nlpnerd 4 7/26/2025, 4:49:39 PM
I am a solo-founder of an early stage startup working on AI agents for investment research and analysis, with a public beta launched just a week ago.
I am dropping by NYC as a side trip about two weeks from now and am looking for tips and advice on forming connections with the startup community, potential clients and investors there.
Specifically interested in the wealth management space (independent financial advisors, external asset managers), hedge funds and asset managers as well as other startups and VCs that are in the same space.
Doing this with the intention to enter the U.S market within the next 6 months, i.e GTM hire and starting sales motion and pilots. Any suggestions on where and how to get started?

2) Most LLM or agentic applications don't give us enough control over the process. Investment research is pretty open-ended and subjective, there is no one absolute approach. Individuals and teams often have some tribal perspective on how to do it or needs certain ground covered to have conviction. Existing solutions do not allow such control.
