The Startup Community Way

Watch The Startup Community Way here. 

With the COVID crisis, during the past 15 weeks 48 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits.  As the pandemic continues to batter the global economy, recovery is projected to be slow. And even before COVID, the income and wealth divide was accelerating dangerously in many countries.  What is the path forward?

New companies can enable prosperity and foster upward mobility. But entrepreneurs can’t do it all alone. Startup communities are critical for increasing the probability of success of founders, enabling long-term sustainable economic growth, and shaping positive social impact. 

What makes startup communities thrive? What are lessons from across the US and what traps should we avoid? What are implications for current issues, such as diversity, ethical leadership, work in the post-COVID world, and more?  

Learn from the story and insights of Brad Feld as early-stage investor, entrepreneur, and founder of TechStars. Join us as Lucy Sanders, CEO of the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), leads a conversation with Brad about his personal journey as well as his latest book, The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.

This virtual event will begin at 11:00 a.m. PT and conclude at 12:30 p.m. PT.  Watch the virtual event here.
