The Future of Belonging: Hacking Communities Launch Series

As part of the Hacking Communities (book) Launch Week , we're hosting a series of casual talks with hardcore, badass and seasoned community builders worldwide. As part of the week, we're proud to host JF Gauthier (co-founder and CEO at Startup Genome, the world-leading research and policy advisory organization for public and private agencies committed to accelerating the success of their startup ecosystem.

Talking The Economic Value of Connectedness

In her book, Laís credits Startup Genome for finding evidence of the power of communities through their research. In their Global Startup Ecosystem Reports, Startup Genome identified that ecosystems with higher levels of connectedness have their development accelerated: Local Connectedness (how often founders get help from each other within an ecosystem, as well as from investors and experts) and Global Connectedness (how often founders get helped by others worldwide).

In this casual conversation, Laís and JF will talk about the concept of economic communities (including startup communities). They will also understand the importance of developing leadership that understands the value of connectedness and helps to promote it, both at local and global level, bringing as an example Startup Genome's experience creating collaboration between innovation agencies, government leaders and ecosystem developers from 75+ ecosystems worldwide.

Join us in a casual, practical and profound conversation on the future of connectedness
