DESCRIPTION
A presentation I gave on March 20th at the Prestashop Barcamp in New York. I am talking about what makes New York, a great city for tech, and the current trends in startups being created in the city. Credits to Elad Gil and Fred Wilson who've been talking about that topic here and there, and inspired some of my slides. Asked for their approval before using their content obviously! Enjoy
