Ehsan's Market Analysis
New York is an underrated market for startup funding. While most attention goes to Silicon Valley, New York's 8,500+ startups are building companies adapted to local market dynamics. The $155K average salary creates interesting unit economics for bootstrapped and capital-efficient companies. My recommendation: start with a niche, own it, then expand.
