Looking For My Tribe in Management

I ran my own company as a Chief Strategy Officer, received funding offers (which was one of the most difficult things I've done) for 3.5M and 4.5M and now exited my company to sell it to my original investors. Now I'm looking for my next thing in NY and trying to figure out how to meet the right people that are looking for new members. Are there any people like that on here or suggestions on how to meet them that are hiring right now? Also, looking to expand my tribe, so please feel to ask questions or reach out!

Hey Nancy! I just sent you a LinkedIn request -- I work with founders and usually they need technical co-founders, but sometimes they're looking for members with other skills. Feel free to connect!

Congratulations on the exit :) What are you interested in doing next? Do you want to work for someone else or start something of your own again?

Thanks! Looking to do it better the next time! As for the next step, I'd like to join forces with someone else and work for them, but my preference is to join in the beginning or in the growth. I'm looking to be part of founding team since I've already done it as a Chief Strategy Officer of my own company and gone through the fundraising rounds with 2 funding offers for my own company and 1 for another. I'm looking to do it once again, especially learning from my previous mistakes as I transition out of my own company to something new.

Nancy, I would absolutely love to meet. I've spent the last 9 years in Chicago. Started 3 companies, and fundraising for one now. But I've actually been in Thailand the past four months. I'm moving to NYC tomorrow. Would you be able to grab coffee in the next week-or-so? I'd love to hear about fundraising and where you've landed since December. DM, LinkedIn or email me - i'd love to meet IRL. [email protected]
