757 Third Ave.

For skeptics of New York City’s startup scene, it helps to have a close-up view. Rather than look at things through the lens of Silicon Valley, the Big Apple has developed its own brand of startups.

Of course, this has long been called Silicon Alley. That used to mean mostly startups centered on advertising, media and e-commerce.

But today, it’s branched out to artificial intelligence, biotech, virtual reality, fintech, natural drinks, livestreaming content and mobile app for foodies, sports and drivers looking for a parking space.

Just like Stanford, Berkeley and UC Davis fed entrepreneurial talent to the Bay Area, it’s Columbia, NYU, Princeton and Cornell in New York that are churning out a new generation of well-educated and well-rounded techies.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg put this startup movement into action — and the new Technion-Cornell Institute that is opening up on Roosevelt Island is just one example. Indeed, Silicon Alley is much broader than the area around the Flat Iron district where it grew up the late 1990s Internet boom.

Silicon Dragon has been involved in this ramp-up too, holding a pitch contest at Nasdaq MarketSite June 21 for the best and brightest up and comers in the city.

DEALS & FUNDS

Chinese bicycle sharing app MoBike has raised $600 million in a Series E round from lead existing investor Tencent and Sequoia Capital China to aim (amazingly) to bring the station-less bikes to 200 cities globally by end of 2017. Mobike has raised nearly $1 billion since October 2016. The race is among China’s bike-sharing rivals to ramp up the fastest.

VC deals in the transit sector are where it’s at. Chinese used car trading platform Quiza has raised $400 million in a second round from Sequoia Capital China (again!), Matrix Partners, BlueRun Ventures and Hive Capital. Used car sales are on the upswing in China as first-time drivers upgrade to their next model.

NOTEWORTHY

In a quantum leap forward, Chinese scientists have come up with a breakthrough satellite and physics technology that could lead to an ‘unhackable’ global communications network. Even the Pentagon described the advance as “notable.”

China’s detention of the chairman of Anbang Insurance Group and Chinese banks’ curbs on sales of the company’s investment products could ripple through the country’s financial system. The crackdown comes as Anbang has been testing the limits on expansion and funding sources in a global M&A shopping spree that included the iconic Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York in 2014 and talks to buy a Manhattan office tower from Jared Kushner’s family.

Even the Vatican has gotten into startups! Inspired by the Pope’s call for tech startups to do more social good and fight climate change, Fresco Capital founder Steven Forte started a two-month accelerator program in Rome that includes $100,000 in equity financing and a demo day in December at the Vatican. Honolulu-based agtech startup Smart Yields made the first cut and is headed to Rome.

Michael Bloomberg

The Asia Society of New York hosted a summit discussing the Belt and Road Initiative. Speakers included Michael R. Bloomberg, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former mayor of New York City, Kevin Rudd, president of the Asia Society Policy Institute, Ambassador Cui Tiankai, current ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the U.S., and C.H. Tung, vice chairman of the Twelfth National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Check out Bloomberg’s remarks on climate change and a full video of the Asia Society program. It was a packed house!
