Welcome to Silicon Alley.
New York City is booming with new and established start ups poised to take over the world.
This guide to the NYC tech scene, by RRE Ventures‘ Steve Schlafman, provides a road map for the tech ecosystem in the Big Apple. From an overview of local Angel Investors and VC’s to a glance at where start-up scenesters are noshing at night, Schlafman’s guide has got it covered.
Crossroads of the world aside, Schlafman says New York is the perfect place for startups for a few reasons:
1) An increase in the number of NY-based investors and investments (Over $8 billion in investments for NYC tech companies)
2) More job opportunities which has led to more talent migration
3) A government and culture that supports and encourages tech creatives
As an agency headquartered in New York since 2006, we’ve seen the evolution of the tech boom. While the city continues to promote the growth of entrepreneurial companies and startups, it’s never been a more exciting time in New York for start up entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial enterprises. However big or small, we feel a common bond amongst the dreamers and thinkers in search of creative solutions to common problems.
