Mentors talk about getting "plugged in" to innovation ecosystems. Market maps like this are a cheat code. Here are 5 simple steps to leverage ecosystem maps and get plugged in: 1. Follow the groups on LinkedIn and engage with their content 2. Subscribe to their newsletters 3. Attend the in-person (and virtual) events whenever you can 4. Meet the people that run the groups, tell them where you need help 5. Ask how you can engage with relevant mentors in their network Getting plugged in takes time. Visual maps likes this streamline the process. Thanks for sharing and great work! High Street Equity Partners
