June 2021 NYS Incubator Report |
|
Welcome to Summer!!! Welcome to the new normal. The feedback I am getting from our members around the State is collaboration with each other this year is now more important than ever. As we all adjust to getting back into the office, or our new hybrid models, sharing best practices on these transitions has been in high demand. Over the next few months, we will concentrate on delivering webinars and open sessions for our members to share their experiences.
The coming months are unchartered territory for all of us. We are resilient, and may not stop to think of it at times, but we have changed, we just don't know how much yet. How we work has changed, though we may be more efficient. How we incubate and mentor companies may change. The companies we incubate will have different needs now. We all will assess this individually and collectively and adjust to the new normal.
I am confident that by the time we convene in person for our Annual Meeting this December 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in New York City, we all will have a better sense of our new normal and move forward accordingly. Please be sure to SAVE THE DATE!!!
In Solidarity,
Marc Alessi
Executive Director

HOW PEOPLE GET RICH NOW- HINT- STARTUPS:) |
|
Every year since 1982, Forbes magazine has published a list of the richest Americans. If we compare the 100 richest people in 1982 to the 100 richest in 2020, we notice some big differences.
In 1982 the most common source of wealth was inheritance. Of the 100 richest people, 60 inherited from an ancestor. There were 10 du Pont heirs alone. By 2020 the number of heirs had been cut in half, accounting for only 27 of the biggest 100 fortunes.
Why would the percentage of heirs decrease? Not because inheritance taxes increased. In fact, they decreased significantly during this period. The reason the percentage of heirs has decreased is not that fewer people are inheriting great fortunes, but that more people are making them.
How are people making these new fortunes? Roughly 3/4 by starting companies and 1/4 by investing. Of the 73 new fortunes in 2020, 56 derive from founders' or early employees' equity (52 founders, 2 early employees, and 2 wives of founders), and 17 from managing investment funds.s short and concise as people tend not to read much more than a couple of paragraphs.
