Meet NYC's Enterprise Leaders: Introducing Work-Bench's Next NYC Network
As an enterprise software VC firm here at Work-Bench, our mission has always been to find, fund, and support game-changing enterprise software founders, at the earliest stage.
That said, we have not done this alone in our decade-long journey. Beyond our Work-Bench team, we’re grateful to have an incredible group of partners who have helped scale our portfolio companies and greater NYC ecosystem, and to announce them today:
We’re excited to launch this dedicated network to better connect NYC’s leading enterprise operators: to learn, share, and swap new tactics, identify the next generation of great talent, and support one another in the good enterprise fight.
Who They Are 🤓
Our Work-Bench Next NYC Network is comprised of functional leaders across Sales, Marketing, Product, Customer Success, Engineering, and more, from the world’s fastest growing and most iconic enterprise companies based in NYC.
They’ve been through it all - from finding product-marketing fit and testing go-to-market motions to building teams and closing million dollar contacts. These operators have joined our bench to help our community scale enterprise startup growth with playbooks on how to go from $0 to $100M to IPO.
