One of New York's more prolific seed investors is taking on outside capital for the first time

BoxGroup lacks the mainstream name recognition of big investment shops like Andreessen Horowitz or Sequoia. Behind the scenes, relationships with founders like Reitano have helped the firm grow into one of the most wide-reaching seed-stage firms in New York’s flourishing tech ecosystem.
David Tisch and General Assembly cofounder Jake Schwartz at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in May 2012, not long after launching BoxGroup.For a first-time true venture capital fund, BoxGroup’s history maps against the rise of New York tech. Its origins trace back to when Tisch, 38, shifted gears immediately following law school to try his hand at a startup, then join a growth-stage private tech company in the last decade called InfoNXX .
Tisch and Rothenberg left Techstars in 2012 to launch BoxGroup full-time. With offices just off Union Square Park and more desks than their tiny team needed, BoxGroup became its own early flavor of coworking space, with companies likes Ro, women’s reproductive care startup Lola and college jobs service WayUp rubbing shoulders at the same time. When CrowdTwist’s Fain launched his next company, indoor farming company Bowery Farming, he worked out of BoxGroup for two years.

China Introduces New One-Uighur PolicyBEIJING—In an effort to reduce the risk of overpopulation within the Muslim ethnic group, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the decision Thursday to implement a new one-Uighur policy. “This new policy is an important step in keeping the Uighur population down to a number we find most manageable and best for the nation as a whole,” said the general secretary of the Communist Party of China, explaining that the policy would ensure that the country’s resources could be fairly distributed throughout the nation’s population of 1.386 billion people as well as the single remaining Uighur citizen. “We’re willing to be reasonable. The lone Uighur can have a job, a house, and even a family—as long as they’re normal Chinese people. The Uighur population was becoming far too large for our liking, and we think we’ve finally landed on a solution that’s fair for everyone.” Xi also clarified that the population program was actually the result of a compromise after their initial attempts at an official no-Uighur policy.
