#SellDay Recap
A Year in the Making
December 12, 2013
New York City’s Chief Digital Officer, Rachel Haot, kicked the morning off with a keynote on how enterprise startups are helping all New York City industries to innovate and stay competitive, while also creating jobs and value within the tech sector. She also pointed out that with more Fortune 500 companies in New York City than any other city in the country, enterprise is a growing segment of the city’s tech sector.
Later our Venture Director, Jonathan Lehr, announced the new Work-Bench Ventures fund, which is focused exclusively on co-investing in post-seed stage enterprise technology startups, along with Work-Bench Ventures’ first three investments in LayerVault, Trapezoid, and True Office.
Sell Day also happened to coincide with a very special anniversary for us. Just over a year ago, Work-Bench silently opened its doors. Sell Day was not only an incredible way to celebrate Work-Bench’s first birthday, but also a great moment for us to reflect on the growth and momentum of New York’s enterprise technology ecosystem.
