Entrepreneurship In New York: The Mismatch Between Venture Capital And Academic R&D (Geneseo Authors)

The Entrepreneurship in New York study is a joint venture of the SUNY Levin Institute, the Research Foundation of SUNY, and SUNY Geneseo. This study shows that New York now commands a larger share of national venture investment than in past studies. Within this picture, though, this study reveals a significant disconnect between New York's strong performance in academic R&D in the sciences and the relatively modest amounts of private investment available to move these innovations forward commercially. In 2012, 85% of the venture capital invested in New York State firms was invested in information technology and creative and commerce services, while 15% was invested in life and physical sciences. By contrast, 89% of academic R&D expenditures in New York State were in life and physical sciences, with only small amounts invested in IT. Authors Judith Albers, PhD, and Thomas R. Moebus feature important data and analysis that conclude increased investment in life and physical sciences are needed. They identify specific opportunities for NYC and other investors that emerge as part of START-UP NY and other state initiatives.
