3. The Boulder Thesis
1. Entrepreneurs must lead the startup
community
2. The leaders must have a long-term
commitment
3. The startup community must be
inclusive of anyone who wants to
participate in it
4. The startup community must have
continual activities that engage the
entire entrepreneurial stack

15. Letโs build it!
โข Our Startup Galway website tagline
