Last year, I hosted 17 incredible events at the second NYTW. It was so incredibly rewarding. The experience reaffirmed just how much I love NYC’s tech + venture ecosystem. For this year’s NYTW, I was actively working on or part of 30+ events.

While I love hosting, I’ve decided to take a step back as a host for this year’s NYTW to instead fully enjoy it as an attendee. Just below the Z List IRL, you’ll find a list of all the NY Tech Week events that I endorse. These events are hosted by amazing people who truly care for the NYC tech ecosystem and I can’t wait for them! Lots of love to you all and see you soon.

How Well Does Your Financial Advisor Perform?

How would one even know? Most financial advisors don’t give you a report card at the end of the year, talking about the ways they helped you beat — or, gasp, underperform — the market.

With Rainbook — a no-cost platform — you can have crystal clear x-ray vision into how well your advisor is performing across a host of critical metrics:

  • Fees — how much are they charging you on a relative basis (including those fund fees)?

  • Performance — how are you doing relative to benchmarks? 

Critical questions impacting the long term health of your portfolio, Rainbook delivers you the answers.

If your Advisor Score isn’t up to par, Rainbook can pair you with a new vetted advisor to ensure your financial health is in good hands.
