General Advice • LOTS of exciting stuff is happening in Digital NY right now. Ignore it at your peril! • Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. • The Digital NY entrepreneur network is tight – get connected. • There is an increasing depth of NY engineering talent – tap into it.
Advice for the Entrepreneur • Digital NY is getting crowded with lots of startups. Be sure of your objectives and how to achieve them. • There is a quality group of NY-based technology focused lawyers, accountants and recruiters – network into them. • Not everyone will be able to sell for $100MM+ valuations. Be realistic about where you stand on your chances. • The scope of what is "strategic" to a buyer is constantly expanding. Make sure to keep as many lines of communication open to large organizations. • There are LOTS of outside capital. Think through what is the right amount for you. • Choosing a VC is as important as choosing a co-founder. It could be a 5+ year relationship, so get as much outside perspective on them as possible. • Focus on the partner involved, not the firm overall.
Advice for the Investors • Digital NY is getting crowded with lots of startups. Make sure your deal filter is clearly understood. • Not everyone will be able to sell for $100MM+ valuations. Keep the cap table in check. • Leading VCs have common characteristics today – honesty, preparedness, respect and insight. Make sure to understand an entrepreneur’s expectations before investing your time or theirs. • The "West Coast is coming". They are aggressive and highly persuasive to entrepreneurs. Be prepared.
Advice for the Public Companies • Tremendous value being created, competitive dynamics are changing. • There is a new generation of "Digital Leaders" among the emerging CEOs in the NY startup scene. Make sure you know who they are. • Market leadership is a fungible thing these days. The traditional leaders today won't stay that way if they don't pursue digital growth strategies. • If some of the "new billion dollar babies" (i.e. Facebook, Zynga, LinkedIn, Groupon, etc.) enter the M&A game in a meaningful way, you can forget about "winning" hot companies that are being sold.
