CHAPTER SEVEN
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
Up to this point I’ve been giving you a framework and talking in abstractions about how to create a great startup community. In this chapter, we shift to some specific examples of things various leaders in Boulder took on, got going, and turned into fundamental components of our startup community. The impact of each one varies, and individually you might not view any of them as a particularly huge endeavor, but collectively they provide a powerful base that our startup community is built on.
In each section, I’ll provide a brief introduction, and then you can read, in the leader’s words, about how the initiative came about. The initiatives are roughly in the order they were created, to give you a sense of how they build on each other while being individually created and led.
