Audience comment from New York Entrepreneur Week Then you said everything I needed to hear to continue the momentum of the past couple weeks. You reminded me that I was in a place where entrepreneurship is celebrated, not reprimanded; you reminded me of all the incredible opportunity I have just by being here, in NYC; and you reminded me of all the resources I have at my fingertips I'm looking forward to my first $1MM and now I am sure I have all the tools necessary to make it a reality, I just have to put in the time and hard work.”
