SUMMARY:What Startup Ecosystems Get Wrong\, and How to Fix Them
DESCRIPTION:Most governments are getting startups wrong\, and this is the conversation they’ve been avoiding. If your city is celebrating trivial startup events while founders quietly leave… if your programs optimize for attendance instead of outcomes… if capital keeps flowing but nothing compounds – then you’re not building a sustainable ecosystem. On this live event\, “Startup Economist” Paul O’Brien will provide a sharp\, unapologetic deep dive into his new book\, ‘Startup Ecosystems’ – already being called “the long-overdue operating manual for fixing how cities approach entrepreneurship”. \n❯ What You’ll Walk Away With\nA completely different lens on how startup economies actually work (and why most don’t): \n\nWhy treating startups like small businesses quietly destroys both\nWhy capital follows value (and what founders keep getting wrong about fundraising)\nWhy copying Silicon Valley guarantees failure\nWhy job creation targets kill early-stage innovation\nWhy talent doesn’t follow programs — it follows optionality\nWhat metrics actually matter (and why most cities avoid them)\n\n❯ Featured Speaker: \n\nPaul O’Brien – Author of the book Startup Ecosystems: Paul is the Founder of MediaTech Ventures\, former Director of Founder Institute Texas\, Writer at The Startup Economist\, and has spent his career at the intersection of startups\, venture capital\, and public policy. As a founder\, investor\, accelerator leader\, and policy strategist\, he has built ecosystems from the inside and developed a rare\, firsthand understanding of why most of them fail. His work spans legislative strategy\, coalition building\, and founder support across public\, private\, and civic sectors. Startup Ecosystems is the culmination of everything he has learned.\n\nThe Startup Ecosystems Book is an architectural examination of why startup ecosystems fail structurally\, why capital behaves exactly as it is designed to\, and why most regions are measuring the wrong things entirely. The patterns he documents don’t point to bad intentions. They point to misaligned incentives\, flawed design\, and a stubborn unwillingness to distinguish innovation theater from actual value creation. \n❯ Who Should Be There\nIf you have any role in shaping entrepreneurship\, this isn’t optional: \n\nFounders tired of performative ecosystems\nInvestors trying to understand why regions stall\nPolicymakers and economic developers funding the wrong things\nAccelerator and program leaders ready to be challenged\n\n❯❯ Don’t miss this live\, interactive online event packed with valuable insights!
