​Let's hang!

​​​Join the NYC founder community to connect with other founders and hear war stories from a founder who went through the wringer and came out the other side.

​This event is a part of #TechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

​​​Meet Anthony "Pomp" Pompliano - Entrepreneur and Head of Pomp Investments

​Anthony Pompliano is an entrepreneur and technology investor. He runs his family office, making private investments, along with holding majority stakes in a number of operating businesses.

After leaving the US Army, Pomp's entrepreneurial spirit led him to build Digaforce, a successful social media intelligence platform, which was quickly acquired. Pomp would then become a product leader at Meta and Snapchat, before co-founding Full Tilt Capital, which eventually merged into Morgan Creek Digital Assets, where Pomp became a co-founder and Partner. Pomp would eventually leave this role to lead Pomp Investments and begin leveraging his unique industry knowledge to start building a web3-focused modern media empire.

​Pomp hosts popular conversations on “The Pomp Podcast,” which has been downloaded more than 50 million times. Pomp also writes a letter that is read by more than 250,000 investors each morning.

​Pomp’s interests lie at the intersection of finance, technology, entrepreneurship, and economics, which he tweets about extensively to his more than 1.6 million followers.

​Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, seasoned investor, or simply curious about the future of tech and finance, join us for an engaging fireside chat with Pomp to hear firsthand insights into his remarkable journey, from being a Sergeant in the US army, to being a successful founder and tech/product leader at Facebook and Snapchat, to being an investor and building a modern media empire.
