Kevin Ryan, one of the most highly respected leaders of the New York technology community, talks about the ecosystem that has grown up since the dot com early days, when he and business partner Dwight Merriman pioneered DoubleClick Inc., in this episode of The Deal's Behind the Money online video show.
We spoke with Ryan at last week's Startup 2009 competition, which was co-hosted by New York's Silicon Alley Insider and Boston's General Catalyst Partners.
