There’s something hard to resist about a startup narrative. Flashy, TV-ready startup stories are the stuff of the American dream: hard work and ingenuity can net you millions in no-time. Of course, it doesn’t always work out this way, and most startups fail horribly. (As many as 90% of startups crash and burn, according to a 2014 report from Fortune.) But that doesn’t make working at a startup any less alluring to most of us. After all, we’ve filled our heads with the rags-to-riches stories of the booming Internet: Facebook, Twitter, Pied Piper. It’s hard to shake the feeling that, “Maybe I could do that too.”
While we wouldn’t want to blindly advertise working at a startup as a smart career choice, there’s no denying that there’s a certain appeal and charm for millennials at these companies. And while they don’t always work out, startups can look great on a resume if you’re moving in the right direction.
With all that in mind we’ve compiled a short list of startups to work for in New York below.
