New York Incubator Galia Gichon, founder of Down-To-Earth Finance, was
featured in the NY Times this past weekend. Galia speaks to the
importance of saving for your child’s college education, but not to the
expense of one’s own savings and retirement. Galia notes, “When you

college education, make sure you are saving enough for your own
retirement and have a big enough emergency savings account.” Read the

Keeping Order - Rescuing Offices in Disarray is Big Business for

New York Incubator, Bara Sapir, founder and director of Test Prep New York
was highlighted on CNN/Fortune magazine online. The article highlights
Test Prep NY’s results-driven methods for helping people prepare for
the LSAT, GMAT, and other major standardized tests with great results.
Bara’s approach is not always the conventional one … her program
includes a preliminary discussion where she helps the candidate
evaluate whether or not their test plans (aka career plans) are best
suited for him/her, (i.e. Is Law School really your passion or are you
pursuing it for the wrong reasons?) “Being relaxed during the test
preparation process is key,” says Bara. http://thegig.blogs.fortune
