Local Press / Websites / Organizational Tools – New York has an amazing startup scene and the energy and momentum is palpable. It also has a built-in advantage in telling the world how awesome it’s doing – it’s the center of the media world. That IPOs and then continues rising. Maker Studios.

When we syndicated the purchase of the Buffalo, New York cable system, we literally called everybody we knew and raised an unprecedented $16 million, a breathtaking sum in 1980. Many of the industry funds were wildly successful (in sectors such as media communications, health care, consumer, etc.),

New York City is a tremendous place to be an entrepreneur. For a pursuit that largely revolves around silent time spent at a computer by one person then, slowly at first, a few more people, a bit more talking, and on and on until failure, acquisition, or IPO, it may seem inconsequential to consider where it all goes down.

But when you think of hip, innovative new consumer brands, well, you don’t really think of this town. Even ignoring Silicon Valley, places like New York and LA seem to have an edge relative to Boston because of its proximity to media outlets and the prevalence of marketers from big and exciting consumer brands or entertainment companies.

It used to be that anyone in the entrepreneurial world had to be keenly cognizant of what was going on in New York City. The rules of the game for the start-up's ultimate goal, accessing the public market through an IPO, were set by the investment bankers and sales desk traders on Wall Street.

Fifty investors took a shot on me four years ago to lead rounds in New York City at the earliest of stages--prototypes, betas, Powerpoints, napkins, or just people. The fund doesn't have a specific industry focus and it will continue to work with New York City companies. What does this mean?

But they weren’t really in Silicon Valley at the time—they were in Boston, Minneapolis, New York. My first IPO wasn’t until 1995—the VC business takes patience. Computers were so different from now—arcane, annoyingly difficult— and interesting. So going to Silicon Valley wasn’t an obvious move at the time.

Over a year and a half ago, I did a two-part blog post on the East Coast IPO malaise – one focused on Boston (Massachusetts more broadly), another focused on New York. On the heels of the successful Kayak IPO, I thought I would do a retrospective look back. 9-0 in IPOs and 3-1 in big M&A in favor of Boston?

T aking a company through an initial public offering (IPO) is not an easy task. It’s also an uncertain exit for the entrepreneurs, as they are typically restricted to sell any of their stock in the first 180 days following the IPO, and even then they can sell no more than 1% of stock a month.

It is true that in Austin it is historically more likely that successful companies will sell early rather than pursue the big IPO. They show up at happy hours, they show up at demo days, they connect on social media and over coffee. Some people have argued that Austin lacks motivation to pursue big economic outcomes.
