New York for Acumen Fund events in September

I'm a fan of Acumen Fund (www.acumenfund.org) and have met some great people on the online community site (http://community.acumenfund.org) as well as at events like these.
There are some great events coming up in NYC, so check it out!
Happy connecting,

Upcoming New York for Acumen Events

Meet the Acumen Fellows - Tuesday, Sep. 13th, 6:00 pm @ NYU - Kaufman Mgmt Center, 44 W 4th St 

The Acumen Fellows have just returned from
the field and are coming to NYU to share their experiences and lead interactive breakout sessions. Join us for a lively discussion on the challenges faced by emerging market businesses when serving customers at the bottom of the economic pyramid, and a NYfA Happy Hour afterwards.

Acumen 201 - Wednesday, Sep. 21st, 7:00 pm @ Acumen, 76 Ninth Avenue, Suite 315
If you've attended an Acumen 101 in the past, or have followed Acumen Fund's progress for some time and want to gain a deeper understanding of Acumen's unique 'patient capital' business model, join us for an evening of real case studies and enlightening discussions. The event will focus on Acumen Fund's investment in Western Seed.

R.S.V.P. is required for all three events listed above.
Please email NewYorkforAcumen@gmail.com to R.S.V.P. for each event.
