Many states are taking advantage of SSBCI funds to turn their regions into entrepreneurial ecosystems. Arkansas is the only one (to date), though, to unlock SSBCI dollars in a new way: to create new tech startups that can solve for big problems facing the area and attract outside investors to the state. And Fieldbook Studio is helping Arkansas realize its venture-building ambitions. Created in partnership with High Alpha Innovation using SSBCI matching dollars, Fieldbook Studio has raised venture funding from VentureWell, backed by the Walton Family Foundation. Fieldbook Managing Partner Josh Stanley explains how the Fieldbook team identified pain points tied to Arkansas's 'right-to-win' industry — retail — and is now focused on launching startups to address those challenges. "We recognized a unique window of opportunity, with SSBCI funding made available for venture building to develop new software that could strengthen operations for organizations across the retail value chain." https://lnkd.in/g4vYS9JS #SSBCI #VentureBuilding #VentureStudio

The latest advantaged startup we've created is in partnership with Huntington National Bank, a leading regional bank with 970 branches across 11 states. We're seeking a world-class entrepreneur to take on the role of CEO and Co-Founder at the company, Zocalo. Zocalo makes the market for commercial real estate more efficient, starting with matching small businesses who need space with those who have space through a two-sided marketplace software platform, enabling pop-up retail events that increase foot traffic, awareness, and community connections. Like Airbnb created a new market for residential real estate, Zocalo will unlock unused business space and put it to work while revitalizing neighborhoods, starting with pop-ups and expanding to short- and long-term rentals.

“We focus on health-improving outcomes and saving lives with innovative technology.” That's what Eshelman Innovation Venture Studio Managing Director Bob Dieterle shared at the recent Digital Solutions Addressing Opioid Epidemic pitch day, hosted in partnership with Mountain Area Health Education Center - MAHEC, North Carolina Collaboratory, and High Alpha Innovation. Through partnerships like this, North Carolina is becoming a hub for developing opioid epidemic solutions for all of the U.S. via the creation of new startups. "We want these startups to reside here in Asheville," Bob continued. "We’re in the process of launching two from last year. We could have four startups addressing this crisis in this area. We can flip the script and make Western North Carolina a hub for key addiction solutions.” https://lnkd.in/geKhctuT #VentureBuilding #Startups #OpioidCrisis

When it comes to transformative innovation, corporations must remember one thing: It's the magnitude of correctness that matters, not the frequency. Innovation teams can afford to be wrong often, making mistakes and taking those learnings back with them, because on the occasion when they are right, they're likely to achieve dramatic results. High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker explains for Fast Company: https://lnkd.in/eN35r_D7 #VentureBuilding #CorporateInnovation #Entrepreneurship

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Purdue DIAL Ventures Future of Agrifood Innovation Workshop in our offices. We loved connecting with leaders across the food and agriculture space and exploring big problems facing the AgriFood value chain we aim to solve through venture building!
We are in the middle of day two at the Purdue DIAL Ventures industry workshop event. An essential component in our venture studio cycle is to convene #agrifood industry experts to provide feedback on half a dozen high-priority problems, this time within the theme of #climate-smart systems including #sustainability and #regenerative ag practices. After detailing value propositions yesterday, today is dedicated to some initial solutioning for each opportunity. Many thanks 🙏 to our friends and industry partners who help us make such a positive impact on the industry we love ❤️.

Corporations can't afford to simply react to market changes and "black swan" events. Instead, they must future-proof their organizations by taking proactive measures that make them more resilient. One way to do this? Build new companies. Large enterprises' access to market data, customer feedback, and industry insights mean they are uniquely poised to uncover new avenues for innovation and growth. High Alpha Innovation Business Development Manager Nick Wichert details how corporations can lay the foundation for long-term success by launching startups that solve big problems of interest to them, partners, and customers. #VentureBuilding #Entrepreneurship #CompanyBuilding
