IT Venture Partner Mark Davis has launched a new group on LinkedIn, "The NY Venture Community Group". In just three days, the group has over 400 people subscribed and a good bit of activity.

Davis explains the purpose for the group, "The New York Venture Community is the LinkedIn group for entrepreneurs, startup teams, venture capitalists and venture service providers in the New York region.  The purpose of this group is to make it easier to 1) find other people in region interested in venture and 2) connect with these people.  Lastly, being part of this group will make it easier for others to find you."

If you are seeking funding now or plan to in the future, you need to be reading Davis' blog. He has a huge library of information about every facet of the funding process. Frankly I think he should be selling this information because it easily could mean the difference between getting the funding and not.
