March Newsletter
Hi neurotech enthusiasts from NYC and beyond 👋
Who are we? We are NeuroNYC, and our vision is to make New York the neurotech capital of the world. We bring together founders, researchers, clinicians, investors, operators, artists, and policymakers across the entire neurotech ecosystem; spanning BCI, neuromodulation, digital health, AI-driven neuroscience, and more.
Our goal is simple: build a high-signal, human-scale community that helps neurotech move from the lab to real-world impact.
