Book of The Month: “Startup Communities", by Brad Feld

Editor’s note:  Feld’s writing is thorough and accessible.  It reflects the foundation’s experience in economic gardening in our own hometown “to a t”.  

Favorite excerpt – if you read nothing else, read Chapter 5 which reads more like “how to build a happy life” than how to build a community.

“Be Inclusive

Play a non-zero-sum or positive sum game

Be mentorship driven

Have porous boundaries

Give people assignments

Experiment and fail fast”
