Next Wednesday night, I'm hosting a roundtable discussion between Brooklyn innovation community stakeholders on how to make this side of the river a better place to create, build businesses and grow. Honestly, it was a fair bit of hand waving and maybe a little smoke and mirrors--saying in 2005 that we had a ton of startup-ready tech talent.

A lot has been written about whether or not we should be encouraging 1000 startups to bloom and the proliferation of incubators, as well as the growth of angel investing. Startup success is a team effort and you can't just have great entrepreneurs. I'm doing my part, giving at talk at NYU on how to get a great job at a startup.

It has never been so easy to get a startup up and off the ground these days. There are incubators to help you out on the financing side, too. The success of YCombinator and Techstars has spawned countless new incubators. Online communities provide lots of valuable information as well.

More and more startups are getting built without relying on University research--because hard technology is rarely the barrier to innovation these days. Student clubs can be very powerful connections into the startup and innovation world. Be a community center. Give them that and they'll decide on their own to be a founder.

That’s the thing—startups in the initial stages need advice, feedback, and guidence a lot more than they need money upfront. The problem is that misguided startups with too much money to spend also take up scarce resources—like engineering talent, media attention, designers, etc.—making This is a good thing.
