youngStartup Ventures

youngStartup Ventures is a business based in New York City that organizes conferences for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.[1][2][2] YoungStartup has held conferences in New York, Boston, and Mountain View, California. The conferences featured interactive panels of active venture capitalists and emerging growth companies seeking initial rounds of institutional financing. The goal of their 2013 New England Venture Summit was to provide "startup founders" with an opportunity to pitch their business concepts, participate in panel discussions and network with venture capitalists.[2] The company's "pay-to-pitch" conference model, in which entrepreneurs pay to attend and present, has been criticized by some in the startup investment community.[2][3]
