Whether it’s fashion and finance or consumer electronics and apps, the New York tech economy’s got something to offer. I mean, really, can anyone expect any less from a tech ecosystem that is second only to Silicon Valley when it comes to venture capital and is arguably home to the most active startup community in the world? From city-wide government initiatives encouraging the tech industry to move the New York City economy forward, to independently-driven projects that have grown into bigger national initiatives, New York is the birthplace of tech innovation and business acumen.

But because of the New York tech economy’s enormity, Tech.Co understands that it’s simply unimaginable for consumers to learn about every amazing startup out here. That’s why we’re making our way to NYC and encouraging startups to pitch at our upcoming New York regional competition as part of the Tech.Co Celebrate Startup Tour.

Tech.Co’s New York Startup of the Year Competition & Mixer

On Tuesday, June 16, come join us at the Centre for Social Innovation, in Chelsea, as we host our New York Startup of the Year Competition & Mixer as part of the Tech.Co Celebrate Startup Tour. Sponsored by Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and 43North the event will last from 7 PM to 9:30 PM and will feature some of Silicon Alley’s most promising startups. Register now to see which startups are helping to push New York City ahead of the Valley.
