New York City is a dream but can also be a navigational nightmare, equal parts crammed circus and rat race mixed at warp speed. This holds for the city’s tech sector. In order to provide more transparent access and information, today we’re excited to launch the Hitchhiker’s Guide to New York City Tech. The New York Tech Alliance is the largest and most significant organization that our ecosystem has ever had.

New tech ecosystems often benefit from entrepreneurs who will dive in blind and figure out their direction along the way. In 2010, Eli Bronner and his Lua Technologies co-founders were this exact profile of entrepreneurs, and New York City was an exuberant tech ecosystem without much structure or identity. So what happens when a rookie founding team collides with an adolescent startup city?

Today, Amazon announced it will entirely abandon its plans to build its second headquarters (a/k/a “HQ2”) in Long Island City, a residential neighborhood in the borough of Queens, New York City. So, here is my attempt to do that — for the record, I believe NYC made a huge mistake, but also that Amazon should’ve picked a different (and smaller) city to begin with. NYC’s loss is now another city’s gain. Start spreading the news, indeed.

While startups will have an uphill battle no matter where they set down roots, there are some cities where competition can be a bit fiercer, such as New York City. Living in the City. Living in the city, even if it’s just on a temporary basis, is well worth looking into as you will always be close by for client meetings, popping in and out of the office, and it can help you to network even more. Entrepreneurs are a very unique group of individuals.

There’s no getting around the fact that New York City is one of the most expensive places in the world to rent an office. For many years, people have tried to invent new types of work environment. Yet, there’s good reason for this. It is also one of the most desirable and, if you make the right moves, it can be hugely profitable too. The bad news is that it can be very difficult for small businesses, with tight budgets, to get their start here.

We pulled off 48in48 in a city outside of Atlanta. To be able to pull off New York City helped us realize that our BIG long-term goal, to run the event in 48 cities worldwide over the same weekend, is that much more achievable (granted, we have a lot of work left to do, but still.). I thought I’d do the same for the New York event. Our sponsors, especially Delta Air Lines , helped us get to New York City! We did it!

Although there are many, many excellent events each week in New York that it would make sense for a startup entrepreneur to attend (see Gary’s Guide, Startup Digest, or This Week in NY Innovation), the truth is that (a) VCs and serious investors don’t go to most of them, and (b) the odds are slim that even if you and the investor were at the same event, you will have the opportunity or time to do more than say hello.

Literally, the whole city was watching--across so many different communities, both local and international.

Innovating in New York City Last week I wrote about speaking at the NYC Lean Startup Meetup.

Like most things, New York City is such a massive and diverse place that it's easy to "get lost in the crowd," and there's a lot going on.

It’s really difficult for me not to get into the thick of discussions about whether or not you can and/or should build a company in New York City. I’m extremely passionate about the topic and so when my city gets picked on, I tend to respond confidently and with the same (and sometimes greater) force than I perceive the complaint to have. My company was not well executed enough to achieve venture capital financing—and that wasn’t the city’s fault, it was mine.

I remember hearing that a New York City venture fund was raising money in 2004 and almost skipping the meeting, because New York wasn’t a viable place to deploy that much capital—it was a small blip in the past.
