Good summary. All in all I don't get why the SV comparison is even appropriate. SV is will always be a specific mix of elements. Each one NYC picks up will be replaced by another nit that shows how NYC != SV.
What is true is that NYC is becoming a place that matters for technology businesses. We could talk all day about scale (corps vs. startups vs. schools vs. many other things) but the bottom line is that NYC has a real technology sector and it's growing.
- billpatrianakos 15y agoAgreed. Especially on how the comparison isn't appropriate. Thank you for expressing what I couldn't find the words to say. I would also ask why compare at all? These are apples and oranges. Let Silicon Valley have its claim to fame and don't try to make NYC fit into this mold that it clearly doesn't belong in. NYC has its special qualities. So let's applaud them and encourage them to keep doing what they do best and let them develop their own culture or claim to fame instead of comparing the two.
