Moderators & Keynote Speakers

• Besides the great lineup of Investors and Sponsors for COS New York, we have outstanding moderators and keynote speakers for this edition. Let me introduce you:

  

  1) Keynote 1 Shafqat Islam - Founder & CEO NewsCred. Shafqat will speak about how to prepare to get funded. He raised nearly USD 5M for his company NewsCred.com and is a great overall speaker.

  2) Keynote 2: Dane Atkinson – Founder & CEO Sumall.com. We already announce earlier this week that Dane will do “A Very Real Mock Negotiation”  in which you’ll see how Dane negotiates with Brad Svrluga – partner at High Peaks Ventures.

  

  Urs Haeusler – CEO DealMarket.com. Urs will moderate the entire Open Office Hours sessions in the morning. The 4 Discussion Panels will be moderated by Matt Witheiler. Matt is a Principal at Flybridge Capital and he’ll also be co-moderating the rest of the day together with Arjen (founder of Capital On Stage).

  With only 2 weeks until the conference, we’re looking forward to a great day!  Early-bird tickets are sold out, but Startups can still apply for an invitation (still cheap – starting at USD110).
