This morning we had a very useful meeting with Patricia Young from UKTI. She will put us in touch with quite a few companies in NY, as well as some media agencies.
We then arranged a few more meetings and had a huge burrito – we were told we need to gain a bit of weight.
This afternoon we met Karl Schmieder from Messaginglab, nice guy with a good sense of humor. We will try to meet up with him again next week and might even have the chance to work out of his office. For the rest of the afternoon we camped out at the Ace Hotel on 29th Street, which seems to be the cool tech meet up place.
Tomorrow we will try to meet up with David from The Hatchery.
So far the Big Apple is very welcoming and everyone has been extremely helpful. But I am not sure if I ever will get used to their black water and tea. OK enough for today, my inner clock is telling me I should start getting tired – off to meet some friends.
(Update) We ended up listening to an opera in a church and had some healthy vegan food – really not what you normally would associate with the US.
