Recently, I had the honor and privilege of joining VC, Techstars co-founder, and author Brad Feld to discuss our perspectives on startup leadership and career development to empower the next generation of startup leaders.
From the beginning, Brad has been an incredibly generous supporter of my books focused on startup employees, Power to the Startup People and Lead Upwards. I am grateful to get to learn and benefit from Brad’s work focused on building startup communities and ecosystems, both locally in Colorado and globally.
Brad has written many excellent books; two of my favorites, Startup Communities and The Startup Community Way, have particularly influenced my perspectives on how to foster more inclusive, diverse startup ecosystems.
Our fireside chat explored what it takes to build diverse startup communities and the role of startup employees in thriving startup ecosystems. Our discussion covered many topics that will hopefully resonate with many startup joiners who are interested in growing their careers and getting more involved in the ecosystem.
Watch the recording below.
