>>lack of data scientists with strong engineering skills >>less angel money

absolutely. this article is a great 30k feet up review of the scene and what you add is true.

i operate NYC but literally live 100s of miles away as my affordable housing policy, because I am building an open data science consultancy that is revenue driven.

what i'd add happens is that your scientists and tech people are a step removed from the real-world disciplines put in their petrie dish. they are not working in business settings, but institutional ones, because there isn't quite a silicon valley thing, and public-private-partnerships in NY mostly mean corruption, not innovation.

that said, what makes the NYC scene really amazing is that most of us are doing our part as a civic project.
