Just to clarify, I did NOT write this post as a "East Coast versus West Coast" thought-piece. I wanted to give a 50,000 feet view from what is happening in New York City to document the momentum of the ecosystem that's being created as we speak. I'm a huge supporter of entrepreneurship in every city, and this is a model that should be shared and replicated in every community. If we take what works in NYC, Boston, SF, Seattle, New Orleans, etc -- we just might be able to get somewhere.
