Built Here. Connected Everywhere: How Startup Ecosystems Thrive at the Intersection of Local Strength and Global Networks
Startup infrastructure has long been built around place: innovation districts, coworking hubs, accelerators, and the power of proximity. And while physical ecosystems still create the collisions, trust, and shared momentum that fuel company formation, today’s most successful founders operate within networks that transcend geography.
As teams become more distributed and capital flows globally, the regions that thrive will be those that build both deep local roots and wide-reaching networks. This conversation explores the evolving balance between place-based ecosystems and borderless founder communities — and what it takes to build resilience in a distributed innovation economy.
