One of the foremost benefits of the InSITE fellowship is the unrestricted access to innovative thinking, big ideas, and timely advice. On Friday, October 4th, InSITE Chairman Paul Tumpowsky treated six recently inducted first-year InSITE fellows to some words of wisdom over breakfast at Sarabeth’s. The lively discussion centered on the vibrant future of tech entrepreneurship in NYC, how to make the most of our time in graduate school, and the future of the Venture Capital business model. We finished the breakfast with full stomachs and a full reading list. Below are some of our chairman’s favorite bytes:
