We are pleased to announce that ChubbyBrain was selected to be part of the inaugural class of the First Growth Venture Network (http://www.firstgrowthvn.com).  Last Thursday marked the kickoff for FGVN and served as a day to introduce the startups to one another as well as to the numerous investors and advisors who are part of FGVN. 

If you’d like to view the entire first of startups comprising the first vintage of FGVN, you can click here or on the First Growth Venture Network widget at the end of this post. 

First Growth is a program for high potential, seed and early stage start-up tech entrepreneurs in and around New York City. First Growth takes high potential entrepreneurs and accelerates their “first growth” by (1) connecting them with venture capitalists, angel investors, successful entrepreneurs and advisors, all of whom have spent years in and around technology start-ups; (2) connecting each start-up with a First Growth Advisor Team of 3 or 4 successful network members who will serve as mentors to the team; (3) providing regular opportunities for substantive information and networking with the broader First Growth community; and (4) providing a peer group of other high potential tech leadership teams in the First Growth program.” 

Thanks to the FGVN team for the opportunity to participate.  We look forward to working with the other startups and the advisors who are part of FGVN.
