TechStrong TV: ‘The Startup Community Way,’ With Brad FeldCategory: Business, Infrastructure
Brad Feld, co-founder of Foundry Group and Tech Stars, recently joined us on TechStrong TV to talk about his new book, co-authored by Ian Hathaway, “The Startup Community Way.” Brad is one of my oldest friends and has a lot of great insight into the tech community and the shift in the balance of power in many organizations, and his latest book discusses that at length and more.
Feld: Yeah, “Startup Communities” came out in 2012, and along with the publication of “The Startup Community Way,” we came out with a second edition of “Startup Communities” that has some updates to it and some things that I got wrong the first time around fixed.
Feld: Well, and changing that is important and, you know, it’s one thing to say it’s important to change; it’s another thing for a bunch of leaders in a startup community to say, “You know what?
Feld: The first is the distinction between a startup community and an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the reinforcement that the goal of the startup is to help entrepreneurs succeed, and you can define everything from there.
