Change is usually good. But, after reviewing the backgrounds of each person on the team, I'd like to see more emphasis on real world visceral experience within the digital sector and global tech economy. It is the future. Change starts at the bottom with the people doing it. The kind of change needed is not possible from academia, corporate professionals, lifetime appointed or elected officials because they have not lived the hard life and built something from the ground up. My experience is that they cannot identify the proper roadmap to build new innovations and bring them to market. It's hard to create this kind of ecosystem in communities that have fallen behind because of talented attrition who leaves for better places to get the right help. It simply doesn't matter how talented you are, it takes a bigger community who has walked the same walk to support you. When an entrepreneur is all in and struggling and needs help, we go where we can actually get helped. On the other hand, there are plenty of examples in our state of people who have not left, that are trying to drive a digital evolution here but I do not see them represented in this new group. Change comes from the entrepreneurs, period. Where are they? Moving to other cities. The book "Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City" by Brad Feld, founder of Techstars, is a great example of what it takes to transform a community into a startup and business phenom. https://lnkd.in/gHCbdkhm
