To my new readers.

This is the first posting of a new blog, Ventures New York, that will cover a wide range of venturing, private equity and other financing activities in the New York metropolitan region.

As a long-time financial writer and journalist, I will be able to keep you informed of many of the financial presentations taking place in New York and new deals closed, as well as what financial industry insiders are anticipating in the coming weeks and months. Sector coverage will include technology, biotech, Internet-related startups, and other of the most active areas in financing and investing.

We may also venture off into financial and economic forecasting, based on my previous background as a professional economist.

All in all, you can expect a lively look at what's happening in the financing scene in the New York area.

Here's hoping you'll benefit from this new blog.

Sincerely,


Lew Koflowitz
