I am ecstatic to announce the creation of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures--my new seed investment fund.
It is the first venture capital fund based in Brooklyn--the city’s most exciting and creative borough. It is home to cool startups like Etsy, Makerbot, Pontiflex, HowAboutWe, Energyhub, and Loosecubes. Gilt Groupe maintains a significant presence there, as does scores of creative agencies and design firms. By some estimates, 50-60% of New York’s startup community lives in Brooklyn--and at Etsy it’s as high as 80%. It has grown to be a dynamic place to build a company--and has the potential to be the very best place in the world to start a technology business. I will be working hard to help it reach that potential, while continuing the work I’ve been doing for NYC’s tech community as a whole for the last seven plus years. I'll be back and forth over the bridge taking meetings all over, but you'll often find me at the new NYU-Poly Incubator in DUMBO where I'll have a desk.
