NYC, this is one to be at. AcceleratorCON is hitting the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Friday November 8th, and it’s bringing the heaviest hitters in the startup game.
This is where startups go from “could be something” to something big. Investors, founders, mentors, and the people who make moves—if you’re serious about scaling, show up.

11:10 AM – Real Talk on Deal Flow – We’re talking pipeline, sourcing, and challenges with heavyweights like Iynna Halilou (The MBA Fund) and Vance D. (Techstars). If you’re after high-stakes, high-reward insights, this is it.
