The Startup Community Way de Brad Feld

The Startup Community Way

Autor Brad Feld, Ian Hathaway
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2020

Credibilitatea autorului Brad Feld este incontestabilă, fiind unul dintre cei mai influenți investitori de tip venture capital din lume, cofondator al TechStars și arhitect al succesului răsunător al comunității din Boulder. În The Startup Community Way, scrisă împreună cu Ian Hathaway, considerăm că autorii reușesc să ridice discuția despre antreprenoriat de la nivelul de simplă rețetă de afaceri la cel de știință a sistemelor complexe. Ne-a atras atenția rigoarea cu care este demontată ideea că un ecosistem de succes poate fi creat artificial prin planificare centralizată, autorii propunând în schimb un model de evoluție organică.

Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Startup Communities va găsi aici instrumentele necesare pentru a naviga într-un mediu aflat în schimbare rapidă, trecând de la „ce trebuie făcut” la „cum funcționează sistemul”. Dacă în Venture Deals Brad Feld se concentra pe mecanica tranzacțiilor, iar în GiveFirst pe etica mentoratului, această nouă lucrare sintetizează aceste teme într-o filosofie de guvernare a comunităților. Față de Startup Ecosystems de Fabio Greco, care analizează componentele statice ale unui ecosistem, lucrarea de față pune accentul pe dinamica legăturilor dintre actori — universități, corporații și guverne — și pe modul în care aceste interacțiuni generează valoare.

Textul este structurat pentru a oferi rezultate concrete liderilor de comunități. Veți învăța să aplicați gândirea sistemică pentru a identifica blocajele din propriul oraș și să schimbați mentalitatea stakeholderilor de la una de control la una de facilitare. Este un ghid autoritar care transformă teoria sistemelor complexe într-o strategie aplicabilă pentru orice regiune care aspiră la inovație.

Descriere scurtă

The Way Forward for Entrepreneurship Around the World We are in the midst of a startup revolution. The growth and proliferation of innovation-driven startup activity is profound, unprecedented, and global in scope. Today, it is understood that communities of support and knowledge-sharing go along with other resources. The importance of collaboration and a long-term commitment has gained wider acceptance. These principles are adopted in many startup communities throughout the world. And yet, much more work is needed. Startup activity is highly concentrated in large cities. Governments and other actors such as large corporations and universities are not collaborating with each other nor with entrepreneurs as well as they could. Too often, these actors try to control activity or impose their view from the top-down, rather than supporting an environment that is led from the bottom-up. We continue to see a disconnect between an entrepreneurial mindset and that of many actors who wish to engage with and support entrepreneurship. There are structural reasons for this, but we can overcome many of these obstacles with appropriate focus and sustained practice. No one tells this story better than Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway. The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem explores what makes startup communities thrive and how to improve collaboration in these rapidly evolving, complex environments. The Startup Community Way is an explanatory guide for startup communities. Rooted in the theory of complex systems, this book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystems and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. As complex systems, value creation occurs in startup communities primarily through the interaction of the "parts" - the people, organizations, resources, and conditions involved - not the parts themselves. This continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally, producing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through these complex, emergent processes, the whole becomes greater and substantially different than what the parts alone could produce. Because of this, participants must take a fundamentally different approach than is common in much of our civic and professional lives. Participants must take a whole-system view, rather than simply trying to optimize their individual part. They must prioritize experimentation and learning over planning and execution. Complex systems are uncertain and unpredictable. They cannot be controlled, only guided and influenced. Each startup community is unique. Replication is enticing but impossible. The race to become "The Next Silicon Valley" is futile - even Silicon Valley couldn't recreate itself. This book: * Offers practical advice for entrepreneurs, community builders, government officials, and other stakeholders who want to harness the power of entrepreneurship in their city * Describes the core components of startup communities and entrepreneurial ecosystems, as well as an explanation of the differences between these two related, but distinct concepts * Advances a new framework for effective startup community building based on the theory of complex systems and insights from systems thinking * Includes contributions from leading entrepreneurial voices * Is a must-have resource for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, executives, business and community leaders, economic development authorities, policymakers, university officials, and anyone wishing to understand how startup communities work anywhere in the world

Descriere

How to create a thriving startup ecosystem in a location near you--a practical guide

We are in the midst of a global startup revolution. The proliferation of digital technologies, a rising middle-class, and the quest for sustained economic growth have put entrepreneurship on the map for talent, governments, universities, and corporations everywhere. Along with the widely-recognized opportunity presented by entrepreneurship has come a realization that the success of today's startups is determined to a large degree by the complex global and uniquely local environments in which they operate. It is the nature of these external factors--and more importantly, the quality of their linkages with each other--that explains why some places are consistently able to produce high-impact entrepreneurship while many other places are not.

No one tells this story better than acclaimed author and investor Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway, an entrepreneurship expert and startup advisor. The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem--the much-anticipated sequel to Feld's bestselling book Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City--explores what makes startup communities thrive and how to improve collaboration in rapidly-changing environments.

The Startup Community Way is a governing philosophy for startup communities, rooted in the theory of complex systems and the practice of community-building in many contexts. This book establishes a robust framework and shares lessons from around the globe that illustrate how to create a flourishing startup ecosystem anywhere. Each of the crucial aspects of community-building, such as the organizing principles of community, the attributes of leadership, the goals and values of a startup community, the application of systems thinking, and methods for changing behavior and mindset are discussed in detail. Advancing the practice of building startup communities, this book:

  • Offers practical, real-world advice for entrepreneurs, community builders, and other stakeholders who want to harness the power of startups in their city
  • Advances a new framework for effective startup community building grounded in complex adaptive systems and systems thinking
  • Discusses the role of key institutions--such as governments, corporations, and universities--in supporting startup communities
  • Explores the value of key stakeholders and why leaders are crucial for bringing communities together
  • Includes contributions from leading entrepreneurial voices in the field

The Startup Community Way is a must-have resource for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, C-suite executives, business and community leaders, and anyone wishing to understand how startup communities work anywhere in the world.
