Highlights & Lowlights Cory (New York ) http://

dl.dropbox.com/u/3653347/Startup%20Ecosystem%20Report%202012%20Part%201%20vers%201.2.pdf ( Read New York only )

New York has established itself as a serious alternative to SV for startups in the consumer space and those focusing on e-commerce, advertising, media and fashion.

NYC companies tend to monetize earlier, with a higher ratio of paying customers. Even though that may mitigate risk, it may also limit the startup’s ability to be highly disruptive.

NYC has been able to clearly distinguish itself from SV with a strong emphasis on consumer startups.

NYC has a funding gap, with 70% less funding than SV in the second stage before product market fit, probably due to a lack of super angels.

NYC is slow in adopting new technologies such as Ruby on Rails and Python, relying more on PHP and .Net. ( Refer Software Intellectual Property below )

Page 5: Third board meeting

Highlights & Lowlights NYC is more consumer oriented, with 35% more startups focused on

consumers as their primary paying customer, and 35% less focused on SMEs as their primary paying customer.

For anyone tackling the consumer space and building an e-commerce, advertising, media or fashion startup, NYC is a true alternative to SV. If a startup has already reached product/market fit and is getting ready to scale, NYC can be a great spot for both raising money and for getting global exposure.

Sam ( London ) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3653347/Startup%20Ecosystem%20Report%202012%20Part%201%20vers%201.2.pdf (Read London only)

London has burst onto the scene and has become the most successful Startup Ecosystem in Europe, producing the largest output of startups in the European Union by far.

London entrepreneurs focus 81% more on consulting as a side activity than SV entrepreneurs.

London’s technology adoption is slower than SV. London startups rely more

heavily on PHP (50%), and less on Java (10%), Ruby (13%), and Python (8%) compared to SV.
