The NYC chapter started in 2010 and there were 25 Fellows in the inaugural class. Local startups include VillageVines (Ben McKean), AgSquared (Giulia Stellari), Audience Ampilfy, NeverWare, Sensobi (Ajay Kulkarni, which got acquired by GroupMe), SpotOn (Gauri Manglik) and gtrot (Brittany Laughlin) (now moved to Chicago after Series A round). The NYC chaper is held at the downtown offices at Cooley LLC (for which we would like to thank Mark and Babak Yamaghie)

Applications for the Class of 2012 are now closed and will re-open in June next year.
