Your Startup Community

with Chris Heivly

Your Startup Community podcast is for any startup community enthusiast hoping to grow your local ecosystem. Whether you are an economic development leader, entrepreneur, angel investor, or a corporate executive, this show has something for every ecosystem actor. Season One featured Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway, co-authors of The Startup Community Way, and Chris Heivly, former SVP of Ecosystem Development at Techstars as they dove into conversations with community builder guests. Season two takes a deeper dive into specific issues based on Chris's book, Build The Fort: The Startup Community Builder's Field Guide. Topics focus on ecosystem building in short, bite-sized episodes. We encourage questions from you and will add those in future episodes.
