Building & Scaling Startup Ecosystems

Vibrant ecosystems don't happen by accident. In this dynamic keynote, I challenge leaders and founders to rethink how community, capital, and culture intersect to drive sustainable growth. Using insights from my work at Whop, LinkedIn, Techstars, and Michigan State, I explore how strong startup ecosystems are built from the ground up through compelling storytelling, meaningful relationships, and a mindset rooted in experimentation, learning, and adaptation.
