WE GET IT.
WE SPEAK FOUNDER.
Founders are financially and operationally overwhelmed, investors are taking fewer risks, and competition is as global as it is fierce.
That said, founders are under immense pressure to scale, raise and exit with limited resources, and that's why we started The New York Startup School.
SCALE.
RAISE.
EXIT.

WHAT FOUNDERS ARE SAYING

Aside from being incredibly supportive and doing everything it takes to invest in the startups, the faculty here are genuinely fun people to work with. Cannot recommend the NY Startup School more.

HERE'S WHY UPSKILLING FOUNDERS IS THE FUTURE
Tech reskilling revolution
Rapid technological advancements outpaced the human learning curve and overwhelmed the tech workforce, summarizing that Tech Startups must develop a culture of continuous learning to future-proof their competitive advantage
Skills Are The
New Currency
By 2026, global digital transformation spending is forecast to reach 3.4 trillion U.S. dollars. This means that upskilling a workforce, or an executive team is now a priority
Investors Don't Educate Startups
Venture Capital's reluctance to invest in the training of entry-level startups is an aspect that has been overlooked for a long time. Investors are taking fewer early risks and founders are struggling to keep up with an ever-expanding skills gap.
Founders Don't Ask for Help
Founders many times hold back from asking for help because they worry about losing control, looking weak, burdening others, or feel financially and operationally overwhelmed.
Thanks to our massive network, founders build relationships and partnerships that otherwise wouldn’t be possible at their size without The New York Startup School.
