NYC's Tech Startup Footprint & Co-Creation

The NY Times recently ran a very cool article, infographic style, on how tech startups are scattered across the New York Landscape.  See below for the image and check out the article here.

In a city where everyone is talented and ambitious, I am proud to be part of a community of people who are not only smart and passionate, but are also looking beyond the banks and law firms and attempting to build and create great things. One of the best aspects of Startup is that it is a fertile breeding ground for a cross section of industries, bringing together technology, business, art and design, marketing and entertainment.  The old divisions between these areas are starting to break down, with cross pollination and co-creation across different industries, skill sets and mediums coming more and more to define Startup. In a nod to this phenomenon, Fast Company is launching a website centered solely on co-creation, which will showcase "...pioneers who are meshing tech, culture, and commerce in new ways."  Personally, I think the startup and creative industries should continue to be celebrated. We need more creation in our lives, and less consumption.
