Japan TV - Interview at Courtney Pulitzer Creation offices
The Japanese TV segment profiles Courtney Pulitzer, a prominent female figure in New York’s Silicon Alley, the dense cluster of internet‑focused ventures. It notes her lineage as a descendant of Joseph Pulitzer and explains that she founded her own company two years ago by renting space in another venture’s office. Her core business is a regular "Cocktail" networking event that draws about 300 participants, including attendees from the West Coast, and has expanded to other U.S. regions as well as Asia and Europe. The company also produces a national television program that reports on the U.S. internet industry, with Pulitzer herself serving as the reporter. Sponsorship for the events traditionally comes from dot‑com‑focused market‑research firms, but the segment reports a recent slowdown in sponsor strength, creating some difficulty for the business. In response, a new breakfast‑meeting format was launched last month, held in a Swiss bank boardroom where participants actively exchange ideas. The report concludes by reaffirming Pulitzer’s role as a charismatic connector of people and companies within Silicon Alley, despite the emerging challenges.
