What are some of the most impactful things being built in the NYC tech scene?


So there are actually other things being built in NYC that are very not scenish at all.

Like Vroom - no one talks about the used car market, but they are huge. Knewton and Schoology, two other big company no one treats as huge unless you are into ed-tech Kinnek just raised a huge round, they are trying to be an amazon of suppliers

All of these things are impactful, but, well, weird. There are a LOT of those types of things in NYC


pinterest, etsy, fab, digitalocean, buzzfeed, any media platform, guilt, foursquare, seamless web, app nexsus, etc. I could literally list 100.


So pinterest, fab, buzzfeed, guilt, and foursquare are "tools for humans" and startups like, oh I don't know, Tesla in SV/SF, are toys?


You named Tesla, bravo...?


theskimm, buzzfeed
