Founder’s Friday: How I Built and Sold My B2B Marketplace in 4 years
October 21, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
We will be sitting down with Victor Hunt. He founded and sold Astorian.com, a marketplace helping building owners hire contractors. Victor founded Astorian in 2017 at Yale, raised $2.2m in VC funding, scaled it to 30 cities, partnered with Zillow and Opendoor then sold to Plentific in 2022. Now he is exploring new ideas across AI, govtech, and helping small business grow. He’s currently backed by South Park Commons on his new journey.
We will be discussing:
- Biggest lesson learned launching and running his 1st tech startup
- Insights he most often shares with early-stage founders on building a B2B marketplace
- Victor’s best advise on hiring and fundraising
- Whatever else you’d like to hear from Bay during Q&A

The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2024 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 21, from 6 pm to 9 pm.
We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with 50 restaurants and beverage purveyors, who will offer samples of their products. Thus, attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.
Queens Taste is also a celebration of the borough -- and a great way to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. Many are executives and captains of industry. The atmosphere is always festive, almost giddy, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.
