We had a packed house last week for Clickable's Interesting Cafe, featuring Fred Wilson, managing partner of Union Square Ventures and author of A VC. (USV is one of Clickable's investors.) Fred's talk was on what makes the NYC startup sector so great. (Clickable is a proud NYC startup, so we were delighted with this topic.) Clickable CEO David Kidder emceed the discussion, and Hunch co-founder Chris Dixon and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey provided commentary. Below is a video interview we did with Fred and Chris after the talk -- it does a good job summarizing the major themes. We also posted the full talk and group discussion here (57 minutes).

Interesting Cafe is hosted by the culture team at Clickable. It's a periodic gathering for our community members to share ideas and meet interesting, inspiring people. Our next Cafe features a fireside chat with Caterina Fake, co-founder of Flickr and Hunch. We'll open up the registration on this blog later this week. If you'd like to be added to our event notification list, please send me an email (mkalehoff at clickable dot com) with "Interesting" in the subject line.
