The first episode of a new Bravo reality show, "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley," launched a few weeks ago.
Randi Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg's sister, is driving the drama as the show's executive producer. And she's already hunting for New Yorkers who could star in their own spinoff.
The current show has a cast of characters that range from videobloggers to entrepreneurs. They're young, up-and-coming people in tech who love to socialize.
With that in mind, we racked our brains for some of the most entertaining people Zuckerberg could sign up to represent New York's burgeoning tech scene.
You won't find Foursquare's Dennis Crowley or Thrillist's Ben Lerer on this list—anyone with serious funding probably has their hands too full to apply, though they'd make killer cameos.
The people we chose are young, fun, and on the brink of making names for themselves.
Think we missed a rising star? Put them in the comments.
Laurie Segall is a confident, up-and-coming video journalist
Segall is rapidly working her way up the ranks at CNN, where she covers technology and startups. She's conducted a number of video interviews and has appeared on multiple on-air segments.
The Michigan grad is a fiery, confident go-getter. Like Sarah Austin on the current Startup: Silicon Valley cast, she's in the video blogosphere. But unlike Austin, Segall covers market crashes, not party crashes.
Nitasha Tiku runs the show at the New York Observer's tech section, BetaBeat
Another member of the press who could be a good addition to the show is Nitasha Tiku.
She runs BetaBeat, the New York Observer's tech and startup section. She's well-sourced in the industry, having interviewed entrepreneurs and investors alike.
If Sam Biddle is half as funny on camera as he is in his articles, the Gizmodo writer would make a good Bravo star
Biddle is one of Gizmodo's funniest and savviest writers.
If he acts anything like he writes, he'd be a no-brainer for "Start-Ups: New York."
