After three eventful years, I’m excited to say that my new book—The Startup Community Way: Evolving an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, with Brad Feld—is officially available to the public today! It’s my first book, so this is a new feeling. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for the experience. I learned so much in the process and developed a large number of meaningful relationships along the way that will last a lifetime. It wasn’t always fun; writing a book of this nature is really hard work. But it was worth it.
I believe that Brad and I have created something that will be useful to many people, not just in entrepreneurship and community-building, but far beyond. Our book is not the final say on the topic of startup communities; it’s the beginning of a conversation. There is more work to do and many other voices to hear from. Like with startup communities, the work is truly never finished. But, I believe we have provided a solid foundation from which many people can benefit and build upon for years to come. I’m proud of our work.
