Lead Org:
757 Collab
Goal:
Increase the success of entrepreneurs and startups across the 757.
Actions:
Understand and implement the recommendations of the Tech Stars Analysis of Regional Entrepreneurship, a comprehensive study that is now underway on behalf of Reinvent Hampton Roads.
One of the recommendations from Tech Stars may likely be the need to market the startup and entrepreneurial support services that are already available like 757 Angels, 757 Accelerate, Regional Navy Tech Bridge, ODU Institute for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Arise, VISA, VMASC, and Norfolk State University Innovation Center – NSUIC, among others.
Work to support the 757Collab Initiative, a collaborative regional vehicle providing access to capital, programming and place-based entrepreneurship to grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Accountability:
Action Framework KPIs related to startup ecosystem success and growth will be formulated as part of the definitive plan from the Tech Stars and 757Collab efforts.
