Level up your communication skills and sharpen your networking game before plunging into the chaos and noise of NY Tech Week!
Designed for international, immigrant, and first-gen founders — and anyone building their own version of “friends and family” — this workshop is about creating the kind of network that fuels long-term success.
Led by Charles Leyte, a master connector, strategist, and coach to purpose-driven leaders across industries. Charles teaches relationship-building that’s rooted in trust, generosity, and real value — no small talk, no fluff.

Go beyond surface-level partnerships to create lasting relationships

Craft a networking strategy that’s unapologetically you
Navigate cultural differences and language gaps like a pro
Communicate clearly to unlock capital, opportunities, and trust
Build the kind of community that lifts as it climbs
