Wealthfront will be in New York City Feb. 28 – March 1 to meet with members of the Big Apple’s tech community.

The visit coalesced when Wealthfront’s General Counsel, E.J. Borrack, a New Yorker, attended a lunch with Janet Hanson, the CEO and founder of 85 Broads, a global women’s network. The lunch featured a private viewing of Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels before they went to auction at Christie’s.

Ms. Hanson is an advocate for women and entrepreneurs and has a longstanding interest in New York City’s tech community.

After E.J. and Ms. Hanson bonded over bling, they discovered that they shared an interest in technology entrepreneurship, and that Ms. Hanson had been talking with Wealthfront’s CEO, Andy Rachleff, to devise ways the organizations could work together.
