Andrew Rea is an angel investor and operator, who recently started and organized New York Tech Week. He leads go-to-market at Capital (formerly Party Round) and has invested in over 20 startups, including Motion and Cococart. Before he was at Capital, Andrew was vital in building the community at the On Deck Angels fellowship. Andrew also has founder experience, having co-founded an EV startup, raised $1M, and sold to PE within 2 years.

In this conversation, we discuss how New York Tech Week came about, how to think about the advantages of the New York tech ecosystem compared to other tech hubs, and what Andrew is hearing from elite founders about gaining traction and building companies in the current climate.

This episode is for anyone interested in better understanding the tech scene hubs and industry events and what it takes to pull off a tech week in less than two months.
