Q&A #1: Founder Institute - Ask us anything!
2026-04-09 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online event
Why Do 92% of Early-Stage Startups Fail — And How Do You Avoid Being One of Them?
Seven years ago, this statistic stopped us in our tracks. Today, it still hasn’t changed — and that’s exactly why we’re hosting this event.
Founders today aren’t short on information. They’re buried in it. Conflicting advice, emerging trends, and constant noise make it harder than ever to stay focused on what actually drives growth. After analyzing hundreds of startup post mortems, one thing stands out: most of these failures were preventable.

Building Strong Client Relationships
2026-04-02 11:30 - 14:00 | Fogo de Chao, 360 E Flamingo Rd Las Vegas, NV 89169 United States
Building Strong Client Relationships and Setting Boundaries
In the fast-paced Las Vegas marketing landscape, building strong client relationships is the difference between a one-off project and a decade-long partnership. But how do you stay agile and responsive to client needs without sacrificing your team’s boundaries or the project’s strategic integrity?
Join AMA Las Vegas for our April luncheon as we go “behind the curtain” of high-stakes account management. We’re moving beyond basic customer service to explore the “High Life” of professional partnerships—where empathy meets authority, and clear boundaries actually lead to deeper trust.
Whether you are agency-side, a solo consultant, or an in-house lead managing internal stakeholders, this session will provide you with the scripts, strategies, and psychological insights needed to navigate the most complex client dynamics.

What Startup Ecosystems Get Wrong, and How to Fix Them
2026-03-30 08:30 - 10:30 | Online event
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”.
❯ What You’ll Walk Away With
A completely different lens on how startup economies actually work (and why most don’t):

Why treating startups like small businesses quietly destroys both
Why capital follows value (and what founders keep getting wrong about fundraising)
Why copying Silicon Valley guarantees failure
Why job creation targets kill early-stage innovation
Why talent doesn’t follow programs — it follows optionality
What metrics actually matter (and why most cities avoid them)

❯ Featured Speaker:

Paul 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.

The 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.
❯ Who Should Be There
If you have any role in shaping entrepreneurship, this isn’t optional:

Founders tired of performative ecosystems
Investors trying to understand why regions stall
Policymakers and economic developers funding the wrong things
Accelerator and program leaders ready to be challenged
