NYC STARTUPS
RRE VENTURES | INTRODUCTION TO THE NYC TECH COMMUNITY
NYC has
1. Entrepreneurial Culture (risk
taking, overcoming adversity,
24x7 work ethic, creativity,
innovation, competitive)
2. Engineering + Creative Talent
(universities, large tech
companies, agencies, design
shops)
3. Billions in advertising spend
4. Proximity to capital (big banks,
hedge funds, VCs, angels)
21
• Content startups are still getting funded
• SAAS and Health Tech appear to be the fastest
growing categories in 2012 and 2013
• Hardware is the new category in 2013 and it is worth
watching in 2014
• Ed Tech and Ad Tech seem to have cooled off a bit in
2013
• Commerce remains a core strength of NYC and shows
no signs of slowing down
• Social + consumer apps still a strength but not as “hot”
as 2011 and 2012

ONE LAST THOUGHT
RRE VENTURES | INTRODUCTION TO THE NYC TECH COMMUNITY
104
The NYC Tech ecosystem is reshaping the city’s
industrial footprint and economy. This shift is
largely driven by the thousands of visionary
founders that are taking risks and building products
that actually serve the needs of people. The
companies here have enabled us to express
ourselves more creatively, save time at work, find
places and people more easily, and do thousands
of other things better. All this really matters
because the community is helping to improve
quality of life for millions of people both here and
globally.
