about
Institutions are not the thing that actually drives the ecosystem. People are.
I don’t know a single ecosystem that, at some point, doesn’t have to look in the mirror and say, “We’ve got some culture issues we need to improve.”
The goal is not just to produce one successful company. The goal is to create a system where today’s founder becomes tomorrow’s angel investor, mentor, board member, or second-time entrepreneur.
Leadership in a startup community is not about commanding movement. It is about respecting motion.
The best startup communities are never one-person shows. They are built by many people making different contributions over a long period of time.
