Startup Communities. Building an entrepreneurial ecosystem in your city. Brad Feld. 2912. ISBN 9781118441541. The author (founder of Techstars) is a successful entrepreneur/investor who applied the lessons of Florida ( The Great Reset), Moretti (the Geography of Jobs) and Lautmann (When Boomers Bail) yet I do not know if he ever read these books. Using Boulder Colo as a life lab he and a few friends set out to support a fledgling start-up high tech community. They succeeded very well, without govt help or other “support” types. They worked with other entrepreneurs to ensure that what was needed was provided, most often with no compensation. The book is a treasure as well as a field guide. Be warned to do this well is a lot of hard work with as Feld says a 20 yr timeline.
