NEW YORK—Entrepreneurs, executives, and investors across different sectors met Monday in a private roundtable discussion, making connections otherwise improbable.
At Keeping the Edge, Avner Ronen, CEO and co-founder of tech company Boxee, said he met with the CEOs of Macy’s and American Express, as well as the president of Cornell University.
“That’s a great thing for entrepreneurs to meet with CEOs of more established companies,” he said. “Those are people you usually don’t come across.”
The summit was convened by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who held a press conference at Boxee’s New York office on West 26th Street to hail the roundtable.
