What do we know about entrepreneurial ecosystems?
• Judging by definitional issues…– Not much
• Potentially depressing– Etzkowitz quotes– Universities more often barriers– Institutions more often constraints– “Amateur Night” in general [save us from…]
Good News?• Practitioners FAR ahead of us
• Think “community” or “system”
• Not hierarchical, but networked
• Bottom-up/supervenient phenomena
• DEFRAG? – Map then…– Karen Stephenson – sociogram model– Genealogical model?
Who is stepping up?
– Who actually know what they are doing… • Global Entrepreneurship Week (
www.unleashingideas.org) • UP Global / Startup Weekend (www.up.co)
• Kauffman (www.entrepreneurship.org)
• World Entrepreneurship Forum http://www.world-entrepreneurship-forum.com
• International Council for Small Business (www.icsb.org)
• Coneeect (www.coneeect.eu)
What does GEM say?
Top two predictors of TEA:• 1. Personal preparedness to venture
– Knows an entrepreneur – Mindset, not knowledge/skills per se
• (experiential >> formal ??)
• 2. Supportive social norms– What would your mother think?
• #3? Supportive business climate www.DoingBusiness.org

– Bottom-up– Inclusive

Brad Feld (book; also slideshare)
• 1. Bottom-up, entrepreneur-led– Not institutions– “Leaders and feeders”
• 2. Inclusive– “rising tide” policies– But also “T-shaped” (broad and wide)
• 3. Rallying Point(s)– Common cause, identity, events?
• 4. Long-term perspective
Are We There Yet?
