The worldwide success of #bayarea in the innovation economy relies on the infrastructure of academic institutions (Stanford and UC Berkeley), legal, technical and financial professionals, and its population of technology workers — all having created “dense social networks and open labor markets." That's one of the main challenges in #Europe, in the next years to create such ecosystems, like #bayarea one which remains unique in the world.
“The region has undergone a long sequence of technology booms and busts over the decades, but each bust has set the stage for the next boom.” #exodushype #doomloopbs Back stronger than ever (again).

My post last week ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gCAJ2yWB asked, "How do we move from the number 8 spot for US Startup Ecosystem Ranking into the Top 5? 1. There are efforts underway to "link Ecosystem Knowledge Hubs/Centers" who have IP that are east of Colorado more closely with the Colorado Community = "Opportunity". Not to mention, Marc Patterson at Endeavor Colorado. 2. The CU Boulder Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative is building funnel and pipeline = "Opportunity" by a) expanding the High School New Venture Challenge with a "eye" to state wide deployment, and b) incubating an adjacent NVC program = more on that from Stan Hickory when he is ready. 3. The CU Boulder Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative, Colorado Technology Association, GlobalMindED https://lnkd.in/g8_AruMX and Burridge Center for Finance are all exploring through creative programing, interconnectivity, knowledge hubs and dynamic initiatives ways to unlock doors.....creating "Opportunity". 4. Let's continue to build "Extraordinary Long Term Value". Alison Gerlach reminded me recently that you get there "through preparedness". Now think of the Apollo 13 Mission, ➡️ "Houston we've had a problem here,"- and not "we have". The crew and mission control worked with the assets available and worked the problem (e.g. The Martian). They got to solution through preparedness. Preparedness = "Opportunity"; a theme is emerging.

Don't you hate it when you miss the exit for Utopia and wind up in dystopia? Some Silicon Valley investors are known for their ambitious nature, which can sometimes border on narcissism depending on who you ask. Case in point is their plan to build an entirely new city from scratch complete with the belief that they can do it better than anyone else. The first true test of the grand master plan will soon begin with gathering signatures to get on November's ballot. High housing costs, rising crime...yes, the San Francisco Bay Area has its share of problems. But have no fear! A group of Valley billionaires is here to save the day. Well, under the moniker of California Forever, these investors have quietly acquired land over the past five years in the northern part of the state in a place called Solano County. Known more for rolling hillsides, family-owned farms, and cows mulling around, this place could become a mega suburb with dense housing and walkable streets set on 60,000 rural acres. What this proposed oasis actually looks like remains to be seen, but given the tech pedigree of the investors involved, you can bet technology and office campuses are in the mix. One interesting selling point for Utopia North is the availability of affordable housing. That would seem to be at odds with reality given the tech industry has been mostly responsible for the skyrocketing housing costs up and down the state. And the bigger plan is to woo other industries like defense, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and biotech to open up offices there. If this feels reminiscent of a storyline from an episode of Scooby-Doo, you're not alone. Meddling kids or not, convincing and securing the approval of Solano County residents who are understandably dubious of the shady billionaires and their secretive plan for a new community whose name sounds like a celebrity cemetery is as ambitious as betting $800 million so far on the idea. Whether you think this is a cult for the wealthy or a potentially viable community for all, the bigger consideration is that these billionaire investors are doubling down on the Bay Area, while others have written it off. You don't need crop circles to tell you that means something https://lnkd.in/gTFXUyDM #realestate #bayarea #siliconvalley #solanocounty #technology #california #cities #culture
