Very happy to see this launch. I'm happy staying on the East coast, but if NewME ever launches something in NY I'd love to be a part of it.<p>My only quibble is with this:<p>"Without successful exits from minority-led start-ups we forgo creating new angle investors, venture capitalist, mentors, role models, and more start-ups."<p>NewME is an investor, so I get the need for returns, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few minority-led companies with a 37signals-like philosophy toward business and promotions.
