Startup Champions Network headed to the Bay Area for our Fall 2024 Ecosystem Builder Summit - mere days before Election Day. Our Summit theme, Building Community Power, could not be more relevant. 127 ecosystem builders joined us across our 2.5 days together, representing 2 countries (US and Germany), 18 states, and 45 cities! Each day we convened at a different epicenter of community power - CoBiz Richmond, Inc., Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, and Oakstop to learn more about the ecosystem. Here are some highlights! THANK YOU to Summit Hosts Alfredo Mathew III, Amy Chan, and aL Solis for their incredible work! https://heyor.ca/5GvGMT

Jessica Straus Fuchs joined us at #SCNBayArea to share case studies from states leading the way in creating inclusive economic growth, with highlights from Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Maryland, and Florida. It was fascinating to see stats on what states are introducing bills on entrepreneurship and how those bills have affected the state of entrepreneurship in their ecosystems. You can check out the report she helped develop here ?? https://heyor.ca/v8AgK1 Her team has also launched a webinar series that will focus on the Revitalizing Innovation report and will feature lead researchers from Heartland Forward and Penn State University. The first one starts tomorrow! Register ?? https://heyor.ca/Dba9VP

We're so grateful for the continued support of EcoMap Technologies, Inc. and for consistently showing up to our Summits to learn and offer their expertise.
SCN summit #6 for me is in the books! ?? Anyone who has been to a Startup Champions Network summit will tell you that this isn't your run-of-the-mill conference. You skip the hotel conference room and go straight into the community, actually getting to hear from and connect the people who contribute to the unique local culture of each ecosystem. That's why EcoMap Technologies, Inc. is proud to sponsor SCN each summit and contribute to the continual ecosystem builder convening that bring us all closer together and more connected to our work. SCN in the Bay Area was no different. While many folks use "the Bay Area" as a euphemism for San Francisco, we were fortunate to spend the majority of our time in Oakland and Richmond. In some ways I felt like I was in "Baltimore West" given the shared struggles/opportunities that each of the regions have. That doesn't happen without getting into the community and truly connecting with the people who call it home in a trusted space. Huge shoutout to Alfredo Mathew III Alfred Solis Amy Chan and the whole host committee for such a well-planned summit with stops at CoBiz Richmond, Inc., Oakland Museum of California, Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, The Block Community Hub, and Oakstop. We covered quite a bit of ground in 2.5 days! And then to the (non-exhaustive) list of friends/colleagues I connected with in the Bay - thank you so much for a rejuvenating and reinvigorating summit.
