Don Katz is the founder and CEO of Audible and founder of Newark Venture Partners.
We asked him about the importance of the startup community NVP is fostering in Newark through its bridge-to-seed funding cohorts.
“NVP is part of a larger ecosystem that’s contributing to Newark’s turnaround. … These startups have had access to the incredible domain expertise of Audible employees and our corporate partners, and I’m excited to see how this class of amazing companies contributes to our efforts to tether Newark to the elements of the economy that are creating jobs and taxable revenue and validates the profound business case for this city.”
