Your AI-powered NYC VC guide
Prompt your way to finding the perfect NYC VC for you

Happy Tuesday Brex community,
My colleague Phil Chen, a Relationship Manager at Brex, collaborated with PamPam on launching an interactive, AI-powered guide tailored specifically for navigating New York City's VC landscape. It's built to provide insightful answers for targeted prompts and can help you identify top investors in fintech, consumer, entertainment, healthcare, and more. It can even recommend things for more specific prompts, like finding an optimal partner for a seed-stage fintech AI founder seeking a Series A round. Curious about your VC options or funds that frequently co-invest alongside them?
Explore the guide here: PamPam NYC VC Guide and reach out to Phil directly to share your feedback—more cities coming soon.
Growing together, Michael Morgenstern

Michael Diesu is the Co-founder & CEO of Revenue Roll

Revenue Roll is a real-time B2C identity resolution and enrichment platform that instantly reveals names, contact details, demographic data and psychographics for over 50%+ of website traffic—without requiring form submissions or purchases. Brands like Crunch Fitness, Caraway, Macy’s & Cozy Earth use Revenue Roll to grow order volume by re-engaging more abandoned cart shoppers, growing email lists, personalizing websites and more. Revenue is a 7-figure ARR SaaS working with over 200+ B2C brands across verticals. Last year their team 2.5x’d revenue and 3x’d customers. Schedule a demo to see their platform in action.
Ambassador Perspective: Their enrichment platform fills third-party cookie void, giving B2C marketers even better consumer data than they had before—all while playing nice with today's privacy rules. We're keeping a close eye on them due to their rapid growth and strong team.
