By Daniel Kuhn, Ryan Zurrer, Richie Hecker, William Mougayar

CoinDesk — 2019 had it all: from Libra to China “seizing the opportunity,” to

entrepreneurs, investors, thinkers and others to sum up the big happenings,
trends and countertrends. Share your thoughts with #yearinreview2019. Happy
Holidays.

dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship, with 56 chapters and 15,000 members
globally. Our New York chapter, faced with robust local competition from
for-profit accelerators, startup organizations and dozens of competing events
each day, has been forced to evolve beyond the typical TiE chapter structure.
We’ve tried many different programs in order to stand out and, about a year ago,
chose to launch a new angel investment group.
