1994
The New York New Media Association (NYNMA) was a not-for-profit industry association founded in 1994 to support and promote the new media industry in the New York metro area. At its height, NYNMA's membership soared to nearly 8,000 individuals representing 2,500 companies with members drawn from the entire business spectrum. In 1997, the organization facilitated the creation of an Angel Investor Program to match promising entrepreneurs with experienced Angel Investors. By the time the Internet boom peaked, the NYNMA Angel Investors Program had provided more than $10 million in seed funding for over 30 new media companies, including content, hardware, software, and ASP models. The NYNMA Angel Investors Program eventually became New York Angels.
