WE'RE NOT FOOLING AROUND THIS YEAR
Clear your calendar - It's going down! SpringPong kicks off on Tuesday, April 1st, and you're invited to take part in the festivities. SPiN New York (48 E 23rd St) is our meeting spot for a night of fun and excitement. This is going to be epic!
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Break out your paddle and join the Flybridge Capital Partners team for our 5th annual NYC entrepreneur event. Along with our sponsors Goodwin Procter and Silicon Valley Bank, we're hosting a smashing evening of ping pong, food, drinks, and networking all mixed in with some friendly competition with your NYC entrepreneur friends.
THE WAY IT WORKS
We'll have teams of 2 playing in a traditional Ping Pong tournament for the title of "King Pong". We'll match you up with a partner when you arrive although if there is someone you would like to play with who is invited to the event, please let us know. Don't worry, if your pong skills are out of date, there will be pros on hand to teach you the ropes if needed and fan seats available for those who prefer not to play.
For the charity component, the 2 teams that make it to the finals will get to choose a charity and we will make the donation. The winning team will receive $1000 and the 2nd place team will receive $500 to designate to the charity of their choice!
** note, if you would to play in the tournament, please arrive promptly at 7:00 p.m. for partner and table assignments
