With over 2000 folks displaying up, the fireplace marshall was a bit anxious, however that is testomony to the well being of the ecosystem!

I feel it was 1996 when Flatiron Partners was based with Fred, Jerry C, and Bob Greene that was the “founding” 12 months in reference, though actually Bloomberg LP, Priceline, and IBM had NY space antecedents for what would come. (Thanks Bob and Matt Gorin for displaying up and being traders in Salvo Health years later.)

I used to be so blissful Site59.com’s founding in 1999 and it is seeding of a lot expertise into the Tech NYC ecosystem received due protection within the History ‘Zine printed on the occasion. Michelle Peluso, Tracey Weber, Josh Feuerstein, Jonathan Perkel, Damon Tassone, Richard Harris, Josh Hartmann, Tedd Evers, Beth Birnbaum, Jennifer Handal Catto, DeWitt Clinton, Robert Albert, Philip Charles-Pierre, Amy Ziff all featured and naturally one among our early backers Karin Klein is a TechNYC OG legend. So lots of our famous person workforce went on to be founders, CEO’s, and leaders, therefore I name it the Site59 mafia.

Some excerpts from the ‘zine within the album beneath. So nice to see OG buddies together with Foursquare legends Dennis Crowley, Steven Rosenblatt, Dorothy Chang, and different previous colleagues. Here’s to the following 30 years of a thriving tech cluster in NYC.
