PRAISE FOR STARTUP COMMUNITIES SECOND EDITION "Brad, a pioneer in encouraging the development of startup communities, seeded the momentum more than a decade ago that we're seeing now. . . . Because of this, Brad's thinking on the best practices for developing strong and sustainable startup communities is now more important than ever. This updated and expanded book, rich with case studies, will guide readers on what it takes to create a stronger entrepreneurial economy. It can help show us the way as we seek to build a startup economy that is more geographically diverse as well as more inclusive. Indeed, Startup Communities is a must-read for anybody who cares about the future of their community and their nation." —From the Foreword by Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution; Co-founder, America Online "Any city in the world can be the home of a vibrant startup community. Many of the principles in this book are similar to the ones we are applying at DowntownProject.com to help revitalize downtown Vegas and transform our city into one of the leading startup communities in the world. This book and its principles are applicable to any city that wants to reinvigorate itself through the power of entrepreneurship." —Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO, Zappos.com, Inc. "If you care about economic growth at any level this book will help you figure out how you can play a role in your own startup community. Brad Feld's book will become the Myth Buster of Startup Communities. Reality requires collaboration, inclusiveness, a network of leaders, and feeders operating without hierarchy. All hard work and a ton of fun." —Lesa Mitchell, Managing Director, Techstars "Entrepreneurship and innovation are the key drivers of the emerging creative economy. Startup Communities provides the playbook of how communities can harness the power of creative entrepreneurs that power long-run economic growth and development. Feld gives entrepreneurs and political and civic leaders a powerful framework filled with examples on how to build vibrant entrepreneurial communities." —Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class; Professor, University of Toronto, NYU; co-founder, CityLab
