FORKOFF New York is a marketing engagement for AI and Web3 founders operating across New York's VC density, conference cadence, and BitLicense fluency. Narrative spine, Consensus plus ETHNYC activation, and audit-ledger settlement that turns NYC venture density into compounding pipeline. AI and Web3 lanes, both ICPs.
Five patterns we see when a brand tries to launch from New York and the work stalls inside Consensus week. Each row is the FORKOFF fix. Read it before you book the intake call.
NYC has the densest VC roster in the world. Founders walk into Consensus week with 40 inbound DMs and no narrative spine to filter against.
FORKOFF builds the founder-funnel narrative spine first. Every VC ping routes through one positioning frame, not forty.
Founders launching from NYC keep dodging the BitLicense question on calls. Buyers and journalists read the dodge as evasion, even when the actual answer is clean.
FORKOFF writes the regulator-aware answer once. Same line in every podcast, every Featured.com pitch, every press call.
Three thousand teams ship a Consensus side event the same week. Most founder dinners pull twelve attendees, no compounding press.
FORKOFF books the founder podcast circuit, KOL nights, and one anchor dinner the week BEFORE Consensus, then layers paid amplification during. Compounding, not one-shot.
AI and Web3 founders pitching tokenized assets to Wall Street get treated as crypto-tourists. The fintech audience does not parse Web3 vocab on first read.
FORKOFF runs a Featured.com plus podcast circuit calibrated for fintech buyers. Every quote is translated into balance-sheet vocab before it ships.
NYC crypto KOLs quote 3 to 5x the Dubai or Singapore rate for the same audience size. Founders pay the premium without an audit ledger backing it.
FORKOFF runs every KOL booking through the qualified-view ledger. Pay for delivered watch-time, not follower-count vanity.
Four phases. Each one ships a specific deliverable and rolls into the next. The NYC engagement is a sequence, not a retainer. Auto advances; click any tab to jump.
FORKOFF runs the same audit-ledger discipline across Manhattan venture density, Brooklyn protocol density, and the Wall Street fintech crossover. Three rooms. One operating system.
Positioning spine for NYC investor and journalist density.
Consensus or ETHNYC anchored, surrounding week booked.
Distribution stack that runs 90 days after the booth packs up.
Per-dollar receipt across the engagement.
Clipping is a separate FORKOFF product (clips.forkoff.xyz, $500 floor). NYC post-event clip views run this four-check ledger. 99.71% cleared all four.
01 WATCH
Viewer cleared the watch threshold for the platform.
TikTok 1.5s baseline, YouTube 30% retention, Reels 2s baseline. Threshold is set in the brief, not after the fact.
rule · Viewer cleared the watch threshold for the platform.
Restricted categories and policy edges get rejected with a written reason. Never silently filtered.
rule · Brand-safety policy passes with a written audit reason.
Views from non-target countries are logged but never counted. NYC engagements often run a US plus EU dual-bucket.
rule · Viewer geo matches the campaign target.
Datacenter UAs, looped autoplay, post-campaign cohorts get reviewed. A single check is gameable.
rule · Traffic signal is organic, not datacenter or scripted.
Four outcomes anchor every NYC engagement. The audit ledger reports against these every week. If a phase does not move the number, the phase does not get paid.
