What's really unfortunate is that, each week, community members run tons of high quality events where entrepreneurs connect and learn. The community is that "one stop shop", but yet the NYC government hasn't shown one iota's worth of interest in supporting the existing efforts of the community. They'd rather duplicate it.

I have never been more optimistic about the impact that the tech startup community is having on cities in America or about the role that cities outside of San Francisco / Silicon Valley can play in our future. It really only needs a few community leaders to kick things off and land a community on a map. Co-Working Space.
