Today, we released our mid-year assessment of the health of the Birmingham start-up ecosystem. "We must recognize that there are new and evolving dynamics with seed funding," our founder, Mike Goodrich, writes, "and while I do not fully understand them, I do think I can begin to see a 'new normal' post-covid perspective on financing, which is changing things and creates new discussion points." Read the full assessment on our blog. We welcome your thoughts and feedback. #birmingham #birminghamal #birminghamalabama #startup #startupfounders #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship #businessnews #birminghambusiness #birminghamstartup
