NY Tech Volunteers Needed – Help Out!

Hurricane Sandy has done some significant damage in NYC, and ff Venture Capital is looking for ways to help out.

We currently have extra desks in our midtown office, and free wifi. If your company needs space to work during the next couple of days, we have spare desks. Please contact @ffvc for details.

NY Tech Meetup and New Work City are organizing volunteers with technology skills to help with relief efforts and help New York-area businesses and organizations get their technology back up and running after Hurricane Sandy. For now, they  are starting with creating a database so that we have a group of people who have already raised their hands and are ready to go as it becomes more evident which organizations and businesses in the city need help. Click here to volunteer.
