Forget the massive office parks that have grown up in Silicon Valley, New York is quickly growing its own urban start-up universe. The appeal of the suburbs is wearing thin and talent is flocking to start-ups in New York. New York has passed Boston as the second largest technology hub with no less than 400 start-ups. Many of them are drawn to the urban environment with its wealth of culture and close proximity to venture capital. The city is offering up land and $100M to create a world class science and engineering campus on Roosevelt Island and is reviewing proposals from Stanford, Cornell, NYU, University of Toronto, and Carnegie Mellon.
