The field

Who attends Silicon Alley Sports events?

This is the most popular question we receive. Attendees are senior members of the Silicon Alley ecosystem: people working in and around digital and technology in Manhattan, the original Silicon Alley, and the surrounding area.

Seniority isn’t the whole test

We don’t want just senior people. We want senior people who live by our golden rules, or are inspired to, and who’ll be a good fit for the community. That’s the real filter.

1

No assholes.

2

Leave your ego at home.

3

Talk to anyone and everyone.

4

No one eats alone.

5

Be present.

Most of the field falls into a few groups

  • Entrepreneurs and founders
  • Technology, media, and advertising company executives
  • Investment bankers and transaction attorneys
  • Investors: angels and institutional (venture, growth, private equity, public equity)
  • Ecosystem supporters: agencies, brands, corporate attorneys, and general friends of the Alley

Our events usually sell out, and golf, pickleball, and tennis don't scale, so we keep the field for people deep in the Silicon Alley ecosystem. All our events are open to anyone of any gender, race, or ethnicity.
