The JAR Group in Gridley’s Digital NY Report

The NY Tech community is a lively ecosystem with exciting activities for entrepreneurs, media agencies, investors, engineers, and marketers. Gridley and Company recently published their guide to the Digital NY landscape. The JAR Group is listed as one of the leading digital agencies in their report. A few nuggets of information from the report:

There has been $4 billion of capital invested in Digital NY companies since 2006.
While the total number of Digital NY private companies probably is well over 500, we have identified approximately 280 to be included in this report. Companies in our report either have raised at least $5 million of outside capital or are prominent enough in the Digital NY scene to merit inclusion. The digital sectors we focused on are: Content, eCommerce, Marketing, Mobile, and Social.
There are approximately 120 investors with a focused interest in Digital NY. This includes all stages – Seed, Early Stage, Growth, and Buyout – and includes local firms as well as firms with little or no physical presence in NY.
There have been five private companies that have raised over $100MM of capital (Tremor Video, ZocDoc, Gilt Groupe, Tumblr, and Everyday Health) and 12 that have raised between $50MM and $100MM.
There have been eight $100MM sale transactions of private Digital NY companies since January 2008 (Mediamind, Admeld, Huffington Post, Webloyalty, Hotjobs, Register.com, Daily Candy, and Answers.com).
