The painpoint?

• Players: Entrepreneurs, Investors, Talent, Service Providers, Corp Dev and Policy Makers

• Entrepreneurs: Which ecosystem is the right to start and/or to expand my company?

• Investors: Where are good companies that give me good returns?

• Policy Makers: How can we help local ecosystems to grow?

• Corp dev: Where are the companies that we can acquire?

• Talent & Service Providers: Where are the right companies to work for?

Role of Ecosystem

1. Attract Talent

2. Empower/Inspire talent to start new companies or to join companies

3. Providing talent with capital, knowledge, mindset and support infrastructure to succeed. At different stages of the company different types of funding sources and infrastructure is required.

4. Retaining Companies & Talent

Role of Ecosystem

1. Seed - first few startups within a concentrated area e.g. Route 128 in Boulder or University Avenue in Palo Alto.

2. Hype - first success stories, more talent and investors migrate

3. Independence - ecosystem becomes self sustaining

4. Integration - local & global consolidation of talent and capital

5.1 Sustained Expansion - global integration and continious growth

5.2 Ossified Expansion - slow renewal, flat growth

6. Contraction - braindrain, no renewal
