#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 toward diverse backgrounds.

Speakers: 

Nisha Dua, Managing Partner & Co-Founder at BBG Ventures

BBG Ventures is a NYC-based, early-stage fund backing big ideas that will reshape the way we live. BBGV backs typically overlooked female founders who are building scalable solutions to problems that millions of people face — and that the founder understands firsthand. BBGV’s most recent $50M Fund III addresses large categories demanding reinvention: health and wellbeing; the future of education and work; climate-friendly commerce; overlooked and emerging consumers.

Matt Turck, Managing Director at FirstMark Capital

FirstMark is an early-stage venture capital firm based in New York City. Our mission is to partner with entrepreneurs who are focused on solving meaningful problems. We have built an engaged community among the teams in our network to spread ideas and opportunities.

Moderator:

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.
