We've grown - a lot.

What started with a 100 person guest list in November 2007 is now nearly 40,000 people in the NY area!

Our guest list isn't the only thing that has grown - Our events have grown too!

We now have 7 different events that we host on a regular basis. Some are open to all professionals, while others are open to a specific industry only. We host early evening events over cocktails as well as morning events over coffee before the start of the regular work day.

C Squared Group in Trader Monthly!

The C Squared Group’s New York hedge fund event series was covered in the September 2008 issue of Trader Monthly – Please see below for URL and the text.

C2 Omissions

Despite the proliferation of online social networking, face time remains invaluable. But professional meet-and-greets can be a drag if you have to run a gantlet of retail salesmen just to get a free drink. That's why Jordan Cohen, a former private banker at Deutsche Bank, founded The C Squared Group (csquaredgroup.com), which screens out unwanted riffraff to provide venues for hedge-fund traders and relevant service providers to forge ties without being hit up for business cards by annuity peddlers. The C Squared hedgie soirees are held every other month -- currently in New York, with expansion pending. "Too many of these industry networking events don't screen out real-estate brokers and run-of-the-mill financial advisers," he says. "We do." Plus -- and perhaps most importantly -- C Squared events (which typically run $30 for three to four hours) feature an open bar. We'd like to see you just try to drink your weight in vodka tonics on Facebook.
