Tech:NYC Director of Government Relations Alexander Spyropoulos testified at the City Council today in support of Intro. 948A, which takes a smart, balanced approach to updating short-term rental rules. The bill allows owners of one- and two-family homes to rent their primary residences under clear, enforceable conditions — helping New Yorkers earn supplemental income without affecting the city’s housing supply or neighborhood stability. By creating a framework that recognizes tech as a tool for economic inclusion, we can help keep New York affordable for the people who call it home. 🗽

Congrats to Brian Distelburger and the entire Windmill team! 👏
We put a human on the Moon with 1960s tech. We cracked the human genome. We built supercomputers that sit in your ears and can translate language in real time. We created AI that beats grandmasters at chess and drives cars autonomously. And yet...For decades, performance reviews remained the most dreaded, manual, soul-sucking ritual in modern work. Until today. I'm incredibly proud (and honestly a little emotional) to announce that Windmill built the first AI performance review system that people actually love. No more: Employees copy-pasting a year's worth of wins across 27 tabs Managers burning entire weekends digging through Slack & Docs HR teams playing whack-a-mole with spreadsheets and overdue forms With Windmill AI Performance Reviews, great feedback happens continuously, fairly, and effortlessly. The era of manual performance reviews is dead, forever. If you're still stuck in manual performance review hell in 2025.…..life doesn’t have to be like this. Tag an HR leader that deserves a better life. We’ll treat a handful of them to a michelin star dinner on us. Kudos to my co-founders Max Shaw and Mark Tanner as well as the full Windmill team Jack Chaiken Lasse Thorenfeldt Ben Danzig Austin Weideman Emily Yang Eric Von Bevern Adit Pareek Georgia S. Lisa Peng and Nicole Alonso on all the hard work it's taken to get here.

"When you're a nonprofit, you're lacking capacity, you're lacking resources, you're just lacking everything and you're always trying to do more with less... and when you're able to identify a problem and then think about how technology can improve it, that's something that AI and these GPTs has really enabled." Decoded Futures Program Director Jenni Warren and Entrepreneur in Residence Jake Porway joined Rob May and Ryan Eppley on the AI in NYC podcast to talk about the importance of bridging the gap between the nonprofit sector and cutting-edge AI technologies: https://lnkd.in/evCyMGBw Know a nonprofit leader who could benefit?

Great conversation last week with Tech:NYC members and State Senator (and incoming Manhattan Borough President) Brad Hoylman-Sigal at Snap Inc.'s offices! We talked about how he plans to leverage the Borough President office to help accelerate housing development, strengthen the city’s innovation economy, and ensure companies continue to invest and grow in NYC. We appreciate his collaborative approach and commitment to making New York a place where people and businesses can thrive. Excited to keep working together on the future of NYC tech and innovation! 🤝

Check out our recent interview with H/L Ventures' Oliver Libby, who discusses his recent book (Strong Floor, No Ceiling), how he ended up in venture capital, and, of course, his favorite slice in the city. 🍕 Read our full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eYtA6jfV
Oliver Libby, Cofounding Managing Partner at H/L Ventures, didn’t start with a traditional VC background. He grew up surrounded by family members who were physicians, Nobel Prize-winning scientists, and military veterans. Oliver, himself, was drawn to military history and national security in college, and was even selected to join a CIA program while in school. So how did he ultimately find himself in the venture capital industry? Call it a combination of working with startups (originally as a consultant) with a passion for helping people grow companies that protect or promote people or the planet — the four Ps, as he calls it. Oliver’s book, Strong Floor, No Ceiling (just published last week!), lays out a vision for the United States, and the tech sector is deeply intertwined in that vision: “Our tech sector has a huge role to play in creating a positive, inspiring vision for our country,” he says. Tech:NYC caught up with Oliver to discuss his career, who he hopes picks up his book, the most common mistake he sees from founders when pitching to investors, and much more.

Last week, Team Tech:NYC joined elected officials, advocates, and partners in San Juan for the annual SOMOS conference. As always, SOMOS came right on the heels of election season, but this year’s trip followed a major mayoral race in New York, which meant there was no shortage of conversations about the future of the city, tech, and inclusive growth. From AI in classrooms to cross-borough coalition building, SOMOS 2025 gave us another chance to deepen relationships, spotlight our members, and elevate equity-focused approaches to technology. Some highlights: 🌴 Tech ’Tinis, our signature tech happy hour and one of our favorite gatherings of the year. With food trucks, local vendors, and a setting that felt truly Puerto Rican, the atmosphere was as vibrant as the conversations. We’re deeply grateful to our event sponsors, whose support made the gathering possible: Spotify, Airbnb, Amazon, Citizens for Affordable Rates, CLEAR, DoorDash, Google, Lime, TikTok, and Waymo. 🌴 Tech:NYC’s Decoded Futures team partnered with Fordham University to host an “AI for Good” training — a mini, on-the-ground version of our Decoded Futures programming tailored for SOMOS attendees. 🌴 Also on the AI front, our Decoded Futures Program Director, Jenni Warren, joined a powerful panel with Margaret Käufer (STEM Alliance) Randi Weingarten (AFT), Melinda Person (NYSUT), and Steve Choi on “AI for All” moderated by State Senator Kristen Gonzalez, focused on bringing an equity lens to AI in education. 🌴 Tech:NYC also had the opportunity to support the SOMOS AAPI Reception as a sponsor, recognizing the importance of coalition-building across communities that are too often siloed in policy conversations. With another SOMOS in the books, we’re energized by the momentum around AI equity, community-rooted programs, and cross-sector collaboration. Until #SOMOS2026!
