Much of what we do as startup community builders requires in-person interactions through workshops, meetups, and other events. But the Covid pandemic pushed the big pause button on in-person events that are the beating heart of many startup communities. We’re leaning heavily on our digital platforms to keep the community engaged.

Ecosystem builders exist in a variety of places, such as communities, organizations, industries, etc. We have been really successful in changing our community’s culture. We were identified as having a culture that was extremely risk averse and complacent, with very low levels of entrepreneurial activity.

“Not everybody can do ecosystem building; it’s a talent that is developed through experience and education, connections and networking.

Until the late 1980s, Surdna’s grantmaking centered on education (scholarships), culture (arts organizations, libraries, etc.), and basic community infrastructure (fire engines!). During most of its history , Surdna’s mission was nonspecific, a common practice at the turn of the 20th century. None of this work comes easily.

We also had a strong incentive to make our program successful: despite the shared branding and core values, each Techstars program was funded and owned by the mentor and investor community in the city in which it operated. It’s fair to say that the Seattle startup community would not be where it is today without Techstars.
