Startup Communities
Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City
Entrepreneurs must lead the community they want to build.
Drawing on his experience building Boulder's startup scene, Feld lays out the Boulder Thesis for creating a thriving entrepreneurial community in any city. He argues that entrepreneurs must lead the effort, commit for the long term, be inclusive, and create activities that engage the whole community. The book is part theory, part practical playbook for ecosystem builders.
Founders rarely succeed in isolation; a healthy local ecosystem of peers, mentors, and capital matters. This book explains how those communities form and how founders can help build them where they live.
