We’ve built @flybridge around the New York-Boston corridor for a reason. While a lot of the industry looks West by default, we’ve found that the symbiosis between these two cities creates a unique advantage for early-stage founders that you can't find elsewhere. Boston is a research powerhouse. Between MIT, Harvard, and the broader New England ecosystem, it’s the center of gravity for deep tech, robotics, and complex engineering. It is where some of the hardest technical problems in the world are being solved. We’re seeing that expertise bleed more into sectors every day. New York provides the market scale. It’s the hub for finance, fashion, and real estate, and it’s home to a massive concentration of Fortune 500 companies. If you’re building for the enterprise, you can find almost any major buyer on the planet within a few blocks of our office. We find a lot of value in the connection between the two. It creates a feedback loop for AI and infrastructure founders that’s hard to replicate anywhere else on earth. It's just a short flight or a train ride between the two. I've made many trips back and forth in a single day. If you are a founder based in the New York or Boston area and want to connect over a quick coffee sometime in the next few weeks, I'm going to have some time on my calendar. Drop a line with a little bit about what you're building. We write small checks (~$50k) into early-stage startups that are still just an idea and larger checks ($1-3M) into folks that have a little bit more traction. I'd love to hear from you!
