I recently took that startup genome quiz and I hit upon a truth that I sort of already realized: To launch a successful startup you need to do it full time. So yes your weekend project could be the next Facebook, but the odds are really against you.
I think the real issue with Silicon Alley (having been a part of the scene since the early 90s) is that Wall Street still swallows quite a bit of the top tech talent — that with a super high overhead can get in your way. It's better than it was years ago, but that's more of the big issue for NYC as I see it.
