Ask HN: How you network in NYC as a founder from out of town

2•nlpnerd•13h ago
I am a solo-founder of an early stage startup working on AI agents for investment research and analysis, with a public beta launched just a week ago.

I am dropping by NYC as a side trip about two weeks from now and am looking for tips and advice on forming connections with the startup community, potential clients and investors there.

Specifically interested in the wealth management space (independent financial advisors, external asset managers), hedge funds and asset managers as well as other startups and VCs that are in the same space.

Doing this with the intention to enter the U.S market within the next 6 months, i.e GTM hire and starting sales motion and pilots. Any suggestions on where and how to get started?

Out of curiosity, what does your favorite AI engine (or even your own one, if applicable) answers when you ask it, and why is that answer not suitable for your needs?

1) Workflow issues. A chatbot is not the best interface for accomplishing the typical tasks an investor or analyst needs to do. Our workflow are often start around a watchlist/portfolio and news.

2) Most LLM or agentic applications don't give us enough control over the process. Investment research is pretty open-ended and subjective, there is no one absolute approach. Individuals and teams often have some tribal perspective on how to do it or needs certain ground covered to have conviction. Existing solutions do not allow such control.
