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”
