- There are many important and necessary individuals involved in any startup community, but only entrepreneurs can lead it successfully. In this case, you guys are the entrepenuers. You are the ones that need to lead community development --- can’t be state of NY or regional EDO, those are important partners – but you guys need to set the agenda, that’s what you’re doing with Hoosick Rising
- Projects we lay out tonight generally hope to complete in the next year Project team leaders – we hope you’ll take on new projects This long-term view is vital for a startup community’s resiliency through economic ebbs and flows.
- This is the hardest – Absolute necessity Part of this initiative is to get more people involved – but those of you who have been working on various projects, need to have a mindset that yeah we want more hands in the circle. That’s not easy….especially when new leaders step up. Challenge: if someone approaches you and wants to get involved, you let them, don’t turn them away – give them a task
- Startup communities have hackathons, pitch competitions, startup weekends – really cool events. Also meetings, trainings, workshops, etc. Community development is a little different but the idea is the same that it’s important to continue to collaborate, check in with eachother, and also continue to check in with your ED stakeholders – state and local representatives, public entities, private entities, Working together to move in a positive direction You’ll see some of the project ideas developed around this idea of engagement.
- Be different for each project Back to my entrepreneur metaphor – entrepreneurs will often join forces, maybe to develop and app, access funding, even start a business, -- form this group/network around a very focused issue or project, and once the the project is done, this disassemble and go off to the next thing Way economy is headed – no structured in You’re not signing up for 20 year of meeting with the same group having the same conversations over and over This is about doing stuff Hoosick Rising is a community of people doingn stuff So let’s talk about what it is we want to do
- Heard lot of ideas Time to focus in on what we want to achieve first Around 40 projects listed here
