Always Be Closing is nextNYC’s revenue and sales focused event.

It’s an opportunity for startups to connect with and pitch top NYC companies and organizations who can serve as potential customers. After all, that’s why so many startups decided to locate their businesses here!

We gather key decision makers in specific business areas who have shared their challenges and opportunities to run their businesses better. Startups will apply to get the opportunity to pitch their products and solutions in-person. Our partner companies may not have an obligation to work with you, but the opportunity is yours to lose!

Our June 12th event is hosted by Con Edison

We operate one of the world’s largest energy delivery systems. Founded in 1823 as the New York Gas Light company, our electric, gas, and steam service now provides energy for the 10 million people who live in New York City and Westchester County. We’re constantly looking toward the future and exploring ways to innovate and take advantage of developing technology. But, more than anything, we’re listening to you and working hard to give you cleaner, more efficient energy choices, and more control over when and how you use your power.

What can you do?

The team at ConEd has given us their wishlist and we’re selecting the best six companies to pitch key decision-makers as potential customers. A panel will be taking pitches from companies who can add value to the company along the following interest areas:

  • Transportation electrification

  • Building decarbonization

  • Demonstrations (wildcard slot for new/emerging technologies or business models that can reshape energy markets and utility program offerings)
