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!

SUMMARY:AI Beyond the Basics: Thinking\, Patterns\, and Professional Growth
DESCRIPTION:AI is everywhere\, but using it well is a skill. \nThis three-part hands-on series goes beyond basic prompting to explore how AI can strengthen the way you think\, analyze information\, and present yourself professionally. Instead of treating AI as a shortcut\, we’ll use it as a tool for deeper insight\, better decision-making\, and stronger communication. \nParticipants will learn how to think more like a programmer (without writing code)\, uncover hidden patterns in real-life data\, and use AI to sharpen critical thinking\, communication\, and career skills. \nEach session is interactive and practical\, and participants are encouraged to bring real examples from their own work\, goals\, and interests. \nLeave the series with a personal toolkit of prompts\, workflows\, and strategies you can continue using long after the sessions end. \nSession 1: Tuesday 3/24 at 7 PM ET (4 PM PT) 2 Hours\nThinking Like a Programmer (Without Coding)\nGo beyond prompting basics and learn how core programming concepts can make you a more powerful AI user. In this session\, we’ll explore ideas like loops\, if/else logic\, variables\, data structures\, and control structures\, without writing a single line of code. \nSession 2: Thursday 3/26 at 7 PM ET (4 PM PT) 2 Hours\nFinding Patterns in Your Data (Work & Life Insights)\nBring your own data\, past evaluations\, workout or Peloton output\, desirable job postings\, or anything meaningful to your life.\nTogether\, we’ll feed that information into AI to uncover patterns that don’t immediately stand out to the human eye: recurring themes\, hidden insights\, and the gaps standing between you and your next goal. This session focuses on using AI to step back and see what you’ve been too close to notice. \nSession 3: Tuesday 3/31 at 7 PM ET (4 PM PT) 2 Hours\nAI for Soft Skills & Critical Thinking\nLearn practical ways to use AI to strengthen your resume\, professional bio\, and communication\, without losing your own voice.\nParticipants will practice interview questions and negotiations\, experiment with arguing with AI to sharpen their reasoning\, and explore how AI can assess tone\, communication style\, and perspective-taking. You’ll also learn how to use AI as a thinking partner that walks you through ideas rather than simply handing you answers.\nParticipants will leave with a personal prompt library and an AI toolkit tailored to their goals. \nWorkshop Details: \n\nAll classes will be recorded\, in case you miss a session\nWorkshop is virtual\, led by a live instructor to answer your questions\nClass cost: $150\n\nGDI strives to ensure all our classes are affordable and accessible. If you have any trouble paying the fee\, please reach out to Katie@girldevelopit.com and request assistance.
