Information About

Silicon Alley




The term was in most common use in the late 1990s , when companies such as Razorfish, and Agency.com became local success stories with successful IPO s. The magazine ''Silicon Alley Reporter'', published by Jason Calacanis from 1996 - 2001 , helped to popularize both the name, and the idea of New York City as a Dot-com center. Following the rebranding of ''Silicon Alley Reporter'' as ''Venture Reporter'' in September 2001, coinciding with the end of the dot-com era, the term Silicon Alley dramatically decreased in popularity.

The name is derived from Silicon Valley , California .
