Fostering Community

Chris Heivly, Techstars SVP of Ecosystem Development, discusses what it takes to grow and sustain a local driven by entrepreneurship.

Our Process

Working closely with government stakeholders and community leaders or influencers, Techstars supports startup communities from a holistic perspective, taking into account how all the factors that contribute to their entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We start with a comprehensive assessment. We put a team in place, run some experiments, learn and adapt. Then we work the community to build a lasting infrastructure. It’s deep, important and highly collaborative work - work that makes a real difference.
