Fostering Community “We believe that talent is equally distributed around the world, but the opportunity is not. It’s on us to continue to grow our network for the benefit of current and future generations of entrepreneurs around the world.” - David Cohen, Techstars Managing Partner Our Process The Techstars Ecosystem Development program is your unique upper hand in cultivating an ecosystem that will produce, retain, and attract high-growth startups on a regular basis. We will assess your capabilities, roadmap a path to success, and deploy resources locally to bridge the gap between the current state of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and one that allows you to achieve your full potential. While most ecosystems primarily focus on activities and actors, we place emphasis on the importance of adjusting the culture with a #givefirst mindset to encourage cross-collaboration and long-term change. Together, we will develop local founders, build an investor network, tap into universities and corporations, and engage state and local government.
