AI Can't Fund You, But Your Customer Calls Might - NYU Entrepreneurship
2026-04-28 · 16:00:00 · New York
NYU Leslie Entrepreneurial Institute (Leslie eLab)
16 Washington Pl, New York, NY 10003, USA
In this talk, VC Charlie O'Donnell argues that customer discovery calls build relationships that may later become investor connections, while AI can simulate conversations but not build real networks. Attendees learn why their funding network starts before they raise, and how mapping the career trajectories of buyers, operators, and founders can lead to future checks. Open only to current NYU students, faculty, and staff.
