OPEN NEW YORK CHAPTER
The New York Chapter of OPEN serves the growing
business & technology community in the New York area. The New
York area, in addition to being the center of finance, has emerged
as the hub of the "Converging" Media, Telecommunications
and Technology Industries. In addition, there is a growing base
of Pakistani entrepreneurs, executives and "up and comers"
in technology oriented enterprises. Therefore, we believe, the New
York chapter will play a key role in supporting OPEN's overarching
goals that include:
- To help facilitate and encourage the growth
of Pakistani-American entrepreneurs.
- To draw attention to and promote Pakistani-American
entrepreneurs within the greater community
- To provide funding help and mentorship through
programs such as business plan competition and feedback on programs
developed by entrepreneurs
- To become the hub of information and contact
for enterprises, talent, VCs and other like-minded organizations
with Pakistani-American and/or South Asian focus
- To develop ongoing events through which
Pakistani-American executives can network, amongst themselves,
as well as with other influential individuals in the area
- To recognize accomplishments by Pakistani-American
entrepreneurs and executives.
