Keynote talk at the TechChill Startup Ecosystem Summit, 2018 Riga, Latvia. The terminology of the startup ecosystem has long become commonplace. Yet how often do we consider what an ecosystem actually is, and how to sustain it? A startup ecosystem is more than a venue where startups and their teams are located. It is a dynamic system of people, institutions and practices sustaining eachother and contributing towards the greater goal of building an enabling environment for entrepreneurship. This dynamic system is embedded in a larger landscape of startup cities, highlighting how connections between these ecosystems are not only meaningful, but necessary. Cities and communities have long looked toward successful models like Silicon Valley for a road map to discern the ingredients required to produce great startup ecosystem. While this model has not been replicated, it is not necessary to. In todays digital economy, one size, or one model does not fit all, especially when startup ecosystems build meaningful connections to one another. These connections create the opportunity for every community to become meaningful venues within the global startup ecosystemand to magnify their impact. Here, we discuss several of the vital elementsfunding, institutions, message, sustainability and inclusivity to illustrate how all actors within the startup ecoystem from startups, to corporates, to community builders, to enthusiasts, play important roles in ensuring their local ecosystems success. We discuss how these characteristics impact one another, and how community builders can troubleshoot challenges and highlight their ecosystems unique added value.]]>

How do we know what makes a great entrepreneurial ecosystem, and how do we measure it? As technology has developed, the tools for entrepreneurship has changed with it. As an increasingly large portion of the economy has come to depend on the digital economy, policymakers have struggled to attract and support this new generation of entrepreneurs. Existing economic incentives and support provided by local and federal governments have gone unused. Cities and communities have long looked toward successful models like Silicon Valley for a road map to discern the ingredients required to produce great startup ecosystem. While this model has not been replicated, it is not necessary to. In todays digital economy, one size, or one model does not fit all. Most have relied on quantitative metrics to evaluate their startup ecosystems, but these measures miss some of the key qualitative aspects that are key to understanding how your ecosystem supports entrepreneurial activities. Every community has the potential to be a great startup ecosystem, if they can recognize and build upon their existing strengths.]]>

Some initial findings from a year in the field of some of Europe's startup cities. Digital entrepreneurship is an engagement with community-- thus it is important for communities to foster these spaces to ensure they can grow. Technological change and the development of the digital economy have drastically reshaped our connection to our work, our cities and to one another. As technology companies and startup firms have begun to comprise a larger proportion of the global economy, entrepreneurs trading in products and services that exist entirely online are less constrained by geography than ever before. While the constraints to geography slip away for these entrepreneurs, locality takes upon a new meaning. Increasingly, aspiring tech entrepreneurs are choosing startup cities-- transnational social spaces existing on top of, and not entirely within the confines of the modern city. The Startup City exemplifies today's urban superdiversity (Vertovec 2007), new forms that are uniquely comprised of people, institutions, practices, and values, making them distinct from other types of transnational communities grounded in shared ethnicity or religion (Faist 1998). Wholly engaged in entrepreneurship and the technologies that have faci take on a global dimension while inhabiting the modern geography of the city. Many times, these spaces and the people that populate them exist outside the confines of local policy, utilizing privilege and human capital to maneuver around bureaucracy and visa policy. As governments increasingly aim to increase competitiveness by supporting the digital economy and the entrepreneurs that sustain it, we investigate the spaces they inhabit. This piece introduces the features and development of Startup Cities, and outlines the challenges and opportunities they present. ]]>

Technological change and lower barriers for entrepreneurship have transformed opportunities for doing business in Europe, creating a bright spot at a time of great political uncertainty. Across the continent, each country and region offers varying packages of costs, risks and opportunities for the entrepreneur, including policy incentives, startup support, human capital and cultural advantages. However, it remains challenging for policymakers and entrepreneurs to compare these qualities against one another. Scholars of public policy and business have sought to address this difficulty by developing a number of indices to make these evaluations more transparent. What can these indices tell us about business opportunities and challenges across European states and regions? Why and how do these indices come to different conclusions about the countries and regions they find the most promising? This work examines and compares these indices, and investigates their considerable differences in measurement, methodology and validity. I show that many of these indices take an individualized approach in framing opportunities for entrepreneurship, creating a number of implications for the final assessment. Despite utilizing different indicators and measurements, many of the variables chosen are often related to one another and can be explained by shared phenomena. This assessment of the existing literature allows us to assess how these measurement tools have been used, and how they can be refined in the future. An overview of the current state of research in this field allows us to learn from the innovative ideas that have been developed so far and to discuss the next steps to be taken. ]]>

States have long courted international entrepreneurs in an effort to attract investment and capital to their countries. However, existing immigration legislation is poorly equipped for evaluating today's digital companies. Startup visa policies were developed in an effort to meet the needs to tech founders who wish to bring their companies to new markets. However, they often remain ill-suited for digital startups, and the impact thus far has been limited. While these visa programs aim to lower the barriers of entry for todays technical entrepreneurs, new innovations in the evaluation process have created additional hurdles that have impacted success. A growing private role in the evaluation of these visa applications has created a new and unique challenge for prospective entrants, while fundamentally changing the way that immigrant visas are granted. ]]>
