What are some of the most impactful things being built in the NYC tech scene?

[shanacarp]

So there are actually other things being built in NYC that are very not scenish at all.

Like Vroom - no one talks about the used car market, but they are huge. Knewton and Schoology, two other big company no one treats as huge unless you are into ed-tech Kinnek just raised a huge round, they are trying to be an amazon of suppliers

All of these things are impactful, but, well, weird. There are a LOT of those types of things in NYC

pinterest, etsy, fab, digitalocean, buzzfeed, any media platform, guilt, foursquare, seamless web, app nexsus, etc. I could literally list 100.

So pinterest, fab, buzzfeed, guilt, and foursquare are "tools for humans" and startups like, oh I don't know, Tesla in SV/SF, are toys?

You named Tesla, bravo...?
