10 years of helping cities build startup ecosystems.

Startup ecosystems can transform the social, civic, and economic outcomes of a community if they are designed and implemented right.

For 10 years we have worked in 15+ states understanding the unique needs and opportunities of communities like yours. Our work focuses heavily on the idea of creating Flourishing Cities. This approach transcends economic success as the only indicator of "winning" and measures the social and civic outcomes as well.
