Hacking NYC with Columbia Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship Steve Blank

How did the New York startup scene reach its booming status today? Accident or engineered? Government or Private sector help? New York has finally reached a competitive level in the eyes of the tech sector. It’s now okay to fail here and that’s a good thing.

With Steve Blank, serial entrepreneur bringing perspective from the Silicon Valley environment; Maria Gotsch President and CEO at the Partnership Fund for New York City; Maria Torres-Springer leading public sector NYC economic growth at the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC); and Orin Herskowitz, the moderator, hailing from the Columbia Tech transfer office, the debate ensued.
