Transcript of New York Venture Capital Almanac
Orrick is proud to be a part of the New York venture
community. And we’re equally proud to co-sponsor CB Insight’s
New York Venture Capital Almanac. That’s because we think the
NY VC Almanac is, and will be, a useful snapshot of where the New
York venture community is right now, as well as a brief summary of
where we’ve been.
People will surely use the NY VC Almanac in a number of
ways. But on a meta level, we think it makes a couple of points
worth noting. First, the New York venture community is
growing. And, though the NY VC Almanac doesn’t (and shouldn’t)
include comparative data to other U.S. venture markets, if it did, it
would show that the New York venture market is growing faster than
the venture capital markets in other U.S. geographies. Second, and
we believe more importantly, the NY VC Almanac shows that the
New York venture community is a substantial market in and of itself,
with numbers showing real deal volumes, and names showing real
tech luminaries, both on the company and investor
side. Companies and investors that have made names for
themselves not just in New York, but throughout the national and
global venture community. This is as it should be.
Web and mobile businesses touch broad geographies, but there
must be a reason why so many of them are now being formed and
funded from New York. As the NY VC Almanac shows, the New
York venture community has substantial, and growing, reach in the
larger venture community.
Sincerely,
David L. Concannon Partner, Emerging Companies group, New York

We’ve had a front row seat to the exciting pace of growth in the
innovation sector in and around New York City for more than a
dozen years. Working with some of the most exciting sectors,
companies and their investors in business today, we’re thrilled to
play a role in strengthening the environment for dynamic, innovative
companies in New York – and we see it paying off.
The city’s professional and cultural diversity, open community and
mentorship mindset, as well as HQ for a significant number of
Fortune 500 companies, continue to attract an increasing number of
startups.
The data presented in this report definitely reflects our experience
and what we see on a day to day basis. The tech sector locally is
having another great year. In fact, based on first half activity, 2013 is
on pace to achieve a five year high in deal and funding levels.
Yahoo’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr, New York’s first billion
dollar acquisition since Google bought DoubleClick in 2007, was
definitely a highlight and Brooklyn’s Makerbot was acquired for $403
million too. Even the suburbs contributed significantly with
Priceline’s $1.8 billion acquisition of Norwalk, CT-based Kayak.
New York tech employment continues to grow at a strong rate,
much faster than overall private sector employment, and the
increasing number of startups has contributed significantly to this
growth. Google’s expansion in New York, which now accounts for
10% of its employees as well as about 1,500 engineers, also helps.
We’re seeing an increase in new company formation nationally and
innovation and entrepreneurship are responsible for creating new
opportunities, jobs and wealth in every global location where SVB
has an office.
In New York, there will still be challenges, such as finding
enough engineers, and there will, of course, be business cycles,
but a solid foundation has been built here and we are confident
the momentum will continue. The global technology sector is
growing and New York continues to prove it is worthy of its fair
share.
Sincerely,
Michael Moretti Silicon Valley Bank, New York

United States
Union Square Ventures is an early stage venture capital fund located in New York City. The fund focuses on IT-enabled
services in the media & marketing, financial services, healthcare and telecom verticals.
Union Square Ventures receives and reviews investment proposals and business plans from across the United States
and globally, but their investment history does indicate a preference for NY-based companies.
Union Square prefers to be a lead investor and invests primarily in early-stage, Series A or Seed, deals. In terms of deal
size, Union Square Ventures' starting position in portfolio companies is $1 million and under almost half the time. They
do $2.5 to $3 million Series A deals about one-third of the time.
In general, Union Square Ventures does not put up all the capital in the rounds they lead and will, per the firm, generally
take between 50-60% of the round but have done upto 80%. They like to find other venture capital firms to invest
alongside but given their small deal size, there may not be enough room for another venture firm and so Union Square
Ventures will invest alongside angel investors.
