Everything startup in one place: who's building, how the landscape clusters, the people and investors behind it, and whether the capital is real.
Summary
For all its scale, outside funding is selective: 933 tracked companies have ever raised money, compared with 4567 in Los Angeles and 2763 in Chicago in the same city comparison. New York's company universe is vast, but venture reach is not universal.
WATCH Watch whether outside funding spreads beyond the city's relatively small funded group.
Summary
Company formation is still energetic: 4177 businesses were founded from 2018 onward, while only 0.5% of all tracked companies have shut down. The catch is financing—unfunded remains the largest stage by far.
WATCH Watch whether the large unfunded group starts attracting outside money.
