NYC Innovation Intro
Alright, got the NYC test blog setup so I can start sharing some my experiences over the next couple of months for everyone to follow. PLEASE hit me up if you are involved in the startup scene in NYC - chase [at] pinyadda [dot] com. I would love to speak with you!
My initial focus will be to start mapping out the different components of the NYC “innovation economy”. My team and I will be researching startups, VCs, colleges, government initiatives, non-profits aimed at fostering innovation and e-ship, events/conferences, media, and big co’s that have a trickle down effect on the innovation economy.
So far, here is what we’ve got to kick things off:
- Center for an Urban future’s Building NYC’s Innovation Economy from 2009 (I am mainly interested in mobile, digital, social media and traditional/new media)
- NYC Entrepreneur Meetup Group
- “Official” map of NYC startups from Business Insider
- 20 hot NYC startups you need to watch
- Columbia Venture Community Meetup page
- NYU Venture Community Linkedin group
- Silicon Alley 2009 top 100
Any other resources, research, guidance or contacts for people who are interested in seeing NYC’s startup ecosystem continue to grow please let me know! I will keep posting updates on my progress on this blog so please pass along if you care about this stuff and follow @InnCity on Twitter. Thanks again.
