Both Sides of the Table
MAY 23, 2012
Many observers of the venture capital industry have questioned whether its best days are behind it. I have been close to the tech & startup sectors for more than 20 years and I can’t think of a period in which I felt more optimistic about the innovation and value creation I see in front of us.

Wildfire was one of the darlings of the fbFund incubator program. Boy, there has been a lot of innovation in the eCommerce space in the past few years with GroupOn, HauteLook, Gilt Groupe and others.

I've been thinking a lot about what an innovation-friendly school looks like and have a few thoughts--and it doesn't just mean building labs or creating more flexible IP licensing schemes. More and more startups are getting built without relying on University research--because hard technology is rarely the barrier to innovation these days.

The local tech community is figuring this out, not surprisingly, way before the academic institutions are—and where it is being discovered by academia, it’s being done on a one-off basis by educational revolutionaries in the innovation space who aren’t stopping to ask their schools for permission or to change curricula.

I wanted someone who was experimenting with computer controlled LEDs as an art form to feel part of the community as well--which is why I started referring to it as the "Innovation Community". Anyone who was doing something new and cutting edge should feel connected to each other--whether or not they are building a venture backed startup.

Next Wednesday night, I'm hosting a roundtable discussion between Brooklyn innovation community stakeholders on how to make this side of the river a better place to create, build businesses and grow. What kind of real estate will be available for innovative companies and where? At the time, though, we didn't know what we know now.
This is going to be BIG.

This is the first of a series of posts this week on careers in innovation and startups--sort of a thought exercise for me on the topic for my talk at General Assembly at 8PM on 12/15. In the world of startups and innovation, it's even less clear. People have no idea what their options are, nor where those options can take them.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
