    hands down the best way to learn about new opportunities in tech is by reading next play by my brilliant friend, Ben Lang. It's a curated newsletter with the best of the best, and I *highly* recommend signing up. Ben's the reason I found OneStep (or actually I think they found me lol ) and he's helped SO many people find co-founders and their next big step.

    ATTN: NYC founders are you searching for your co-founder? Working with Ben Lang and Jordan Gonen on next play, we've seen huge demand for co-founder matching. As a natural matchmaker, I couldn't resist the chance to step in an and help people find their professional partners. I kicked off with one-on-one chats, but the demand exploded. Now we're scaling up - get ready for our first co-founder matching night with betaworks which will take place on 9/24. Unfortunately due to extremely high demand we won't be able to accept everyone for this first event - but it certainly won't be our last. CC: Dan Schreter grateful for all of the support.
