Signs of a Strong Tech Ecosystem

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

In building out your startup ecosystem, look for these signs to know if you are on the right track:

• Does the ecosystem have strong clusters of founders and developers that meet up regularly?
• Does the local community foster the startup ecosystem?
• Is failure acceptable or not an option?
• Is there a local university that is providing education and other resources to budding founders?
• Are there a number of startup programs available in the form of accelerators and incubators?
• Are there events around the startup community including weekly, monthly and annual events?
• Are founders and developers moving to the area to participate?
• Is there media coverage of the startup ecosystem in various forms such as news sites, topical blogs, and listicles?
• Are there venture capital and angel investors active in the area?
• Are there service providers available for legal, accounting, and financial services?

Look for these signs that you have a growing entrepreneur ecosystem.

This is Investor Perspectives. I’m the host of Investor Connect, Hall T. Martin, where we connect startups and investors for funding.

In our new Investor Perspectives series entitled “Impact Investing in a post-COVID World”, you’ll hear about participation in the impact investing space and what investors look for.

As the COVID pandemic passes, we emerge into a new era. The impact space is now undergoing tremendous change as we shift to a post-COVID world. Impact investing in the areas of sustainability and the environment takes precedence in the financial industry. We have investors and startup founders describe the changes coming up.

Our guests are:

Brad Gurrie, CEO, Socialsuite [01:13]
Luni Libes, Founder and Managing Director, Fledge [02:50]
Vishal Arora, Managing Partner, VDOSH [05:34]
Chelsea Burns, Principal, Escaladora Ventures [07:05]
Richard Samuelson, Chief Investment Officer, SWAN Venture Group [08:53]

We hope you enjoy the show.
