Why Aren't NYC Startups Building Useful Businesses?

DonorsChoose, Skillshare, Tutorspree, General Assembly... are these not useful businesses? This list could go on.

If anything this article should be more of a critique of the list Business Insider put together than the NYC startup scene. Just because Business Insider isn't writing about "useful" businesses doesn't mean they don't exist.

Another issue is that many New York startups focus on supporting advertising, finance or other businesses. Most internet users don't notice these products in their daily lives, and BI is doing New York a dis-service by ignoring some very useful and successful companies in the B2B space.
