and San Francisco.
One of the early New York gatherings. Mostly interns, new grads, and people figuring out life after college. This was before we called it Anchor.
We started in New York, then brought Analyst Connect to LA. It was cool getting to do this back home.
Our first Anchor gathering in the Bay, at The Nook. Live music, matcha, and a lot of new faces.
June 3 at Brownstone Social Club. One of our New York gatherings during Tech Week.
I moved to New York at 20. Starting a conversation was easy. Having people to text on a Friday took more work.
I built business in LA and Las Vegas before studying at UC Riverside and joining BlackRock. The sales experience still shapes how I work.
At 18, I moved to Las Vegas and took on the work of finding customers, pitching, negotiating, and closing business.
For an event, a partnership, or something we should build together. Anchor is the first place to start.
