Tech:NYC

700+ NYC funding rounds, all in one place. 💰🗽

We track NYC funding announcements every day in our newsletter, and now we’ve put all of them from the past year into one searchable, sortable website.

If you’re fundraising, job searching, or just keeping tabs on the ecosystem, it’s a useful way to see:

✅ Who’s writing checks in NYC
✅ How much is being raised
✅ Which startups just raised (and are likely hiring)
✅ When it happened + links to the companies + lead investors

New York knows how to build.

We have leading AI companies, tens of thousands of startups, deep talent in machine learning and computer science, and universities pushing the field forward. @nyempireai shows what happens when the state and philanthropy get behind that talent and give researchers the computing power to match their ambitions.

Today, @GovKathyHochul launched a first of its kind Center for AI Responsibility, which will build on that foundation, connecting scientists across New York to tackle big questions about AI. Their research should help shape the conversation—and give the people building and using this technology more to work with.

We’re confident that bringing all these New Yorkers together will help chart a path forward for our state and the nation.

Good vibes can be especially good for business…

@NYCMayor has brought new energy to City Hall, and there’s common ground to build on, from affordable childcare to making NYC a place where people can stay and grow.

Our president & CEO @juliepsamuels spoke with @FastCompany about that shared work and what keeps tech companies investing here.

“As long as New York is a place where people want to live, tech companies will continue to expand and hire here.”
