These Are The 10 Coolest New York Enterprise Startups Right Now

People have suddenly decided that enterprise software is "sexy." The Harvard Business Review boldly proclaimed "data scientist" to be the sexiest job of the 21st century.

Although Box CEO Aaron Levie and others have been calling enterprise tech sexy for years, it's great to see these founders and startups get some much-deserved recognition. That's because, as New York enterprise startup founder Ben Sesser notes, "It's damn hard to build an enterprise startup."

In New York City alone this past year, we've seen the government launch a B2B accelerator, the New York Enterprise Tech Meetup doubling to over 2,500 members, and MongoDB raising an enormous $150 million round at a $1.2 billion valuation, making them the highest valued Internet startup in New York City.

Here at Work-Bench, we're fortunate to get a first-hand glimpse of the companies shaping the future of work. Work-Bench is a co-op where enterprise startups share office space, and networking opportunities, with other enterprise tech companies. (Here's a list of our current member companies and alumni).

The upshot is, we hear all about the coolest New York-based enterprise startups. We predict these 10 companies will make waves this year.

1. Appboy - Appboy is a mobile application management and analytics platform that allows you to segment users and communicate with them - think customer relationship management for mobile applications.

2. Better - Better gives IT administrators the ability to instantly protect any mobile app from hackers, see if a hack is happening in real time and make sure no sensitive data is lost.

3. BetterCloud - As Google Apps grows more popular, enterprise IT departments need better security and management. BetterCloud's product, FlashPanel, lets IT administrators restrict, control, and manage Google Apps.
