Dumbo the new “Silicon Beach”?

Dumbo is quickly becoming New York City’s “Silicon Beach,” according to Fortune magazine, which ranked the six “hottest” tech companies that have blossomed in the neighborhood, in a list that heralds the neighborhood as an up-and-coming tech center. Companies like digital ad agency Big Spaceship and Etsy, a popular online “hobbypreneur” site, are among the “hot” digital companies named in the neighborhood. Dumbo, which has roughly 65 tech companies within a five-block radius, is poised to become the “New York Digital District,” industry experts say, as more start-ups flock to the region. [Fortune]
