Tech chiefs hype bid to lure Amazon

THESE TECH entrepreneurs love New York — and they think Amazon would, too.

Tech:NYC, a nonprofit member organization that represents people in the city’s growing tech industry, has penned a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos urging him to set up the web retail giant’s second headquarters in New York City.

Among those signing on to the letter are Fred Wilson, chairman of Tech:NYC and a key investor in Twitter and Tumblr; Tim Armstrong, the head of the merged AOL and Yahoo company dubbed OATH; Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani, and Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa, founders of eyeglass company Warby Parker.

They said the city is able “to accomplish audacious projects.

“Amazon already has a significant and growing NYC presence, so it will be no surprise when we tell you that, simply put, there is nowhere like New York,” they wrote.
