Bonnie’s Investor Breakfast
Moderated by Bonnie Halper, Founder and Editor in Chief, StartupOneStop Newsletter addressing the tech community
Bonnie’s Investor Breakfast is a private, in-person gathering of founders, investors, and ecosystem builders to kick off NY Tech Week 2025. No panels. No pitches. Just good coffee, intentional conversation, and a curated group of people doing interesting work.
Co-hosted by Bonnie’s network and FreeFuse, this breakfast brings together early-stage operators, VCs, technologists, and community builders from across AI, healthcare, education, and startup infrastructure.
☕ Expect warm intros, rooftop conversations, and a real sense of alignment — not a crowded conference room.
