This is a video simulcast event in Boston.  Ultra Light Startups will be simulcasting video of this panel from New York to a live, in-person audience gathered in Boston. Boston attendees participate interactively in the startup pitches, networking, and panel discussion.

In Boston, we will watch a live video stream of New York on a projection screen.  Ultra Light Startups Boston organizers Cris DeLuca and David Ulrich will be taking live questions from Boston attendees and feeding them to New York. Questions asked in Boston will be fed back to New York and answered by the panel live in real-time.

It is a great opportunity to hear a fantastic panel, make new business connections with startups in New York, and network with fellow Ultra Light Startups Boston members.


Video Stream: If you cannot attend this event in person, please consider watching our live video stream. The stream will have full coverage of the startup pitches, interactive panel discussion, as well as exclusive interviews with panelists, startup founders, and special guests.

New York, Toronto: If you are in New York or Toronto, consider attending the event there in person. Click here to register for the New York event.
