Cooley Hosts Astia’s Spring Doing it Right New York Program
New York -- April 23, 2009 -- Select entrepreneurs representing more than 30 start-up ventures experienced Astia's hallmark Doing it Right program this week at Cooley’s New York office. The program has resulted in a greater than 60% funding success rate for prior participants.
Doing it Right is a program where exceptional entrepreneurs enhance their company's ability to attract funding and cultivate invaluable relationships. Through three days of candid discussions and panels led by local investors and seasoned entrepreneurs, the program increases participants' understanding of the current state of venture capital and angel investment.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley with communities and programs in New York, London, and launching this year in Bangalore, Astia is a community of experts committed to building women leaders and accelerating the funding and growth of high-potential, high-growth, women-led start-ups.
“Because of our commitment to the venture capital sector and the emerging companies we advise, Cooley is especially proud to host this important program that has proven so effective for women entrepreneurs,” said Alison Newman, a partner in Cooley’s Emerging Companies practice and a member of Astia’s NYC Advisory Board.
