What Brooklyn Tech Week, Inc. does

Brooklyn Tech Week, Inc. is an event management company founded in 2018 that produces an annual multi-day technology conference in Brooklyn, New York, alongside a portfolio of themed sub-events. Its flagship Brooklyn Tech Week gathering has cumulatively drawn 50,000+ participants across 300+ events and features 200+ speakers per cycle, programming tracks for tech entrepreneurs, venture investors, corporate technology professionals, and innovation-focused attendees.

The company operates an event-production business with no proprietary software platform; its core deliverable is the in-person and hybrid conference experience, with recent sub-brands including AGI CON, HIPH Fest, the Women's Leadership Forum, and Build Pitch Hack, plus Web3-native ticketing features such as NFT airdrops bundled into VIP passes. It generates revenue through tiered ticket sales (ranging from $49 for a One-Day Pass to $999 for a VIP Brand Partner pass), corporate and ecosystem sponsorships, and media partnerships with crypto, legal-tech, and accelerator organizations including NYCEDC, Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA), AWS Loft, Bee Token, HIPHVERSE, Coinpedia, and Legal Hackers.

The go-to-market relies on annual event cycles, institutional partnership leverage for credibility and venue access, and community flywheel dynamics in the Brooklyn/NYC startup ecosystem. The organization operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and has not publicly disclosed external funding rounds, indicating a bootstrapped, operationally lean model dependent on event-cycle cash flow and sponsor renewals.
