Startup Commons is developing startup ecosystem best practices webinar series, where we share in more details different types of ecosystem best practices with target to build the world’s first, open standards based best practices library to support innovation entrepreneurship ecosystem builders and operators globally.

Ecosystems, as the invisible infrastructures, mostly manually coordinated and often not properly equipped even in normal conditions, with even more limited resources to match the current circumstances, compared to what are expectations, – trying to solve challenges with many interdependencies: flow of talent, pool of supporting providers, resources and information. All these efforts need to get properly structured and orchestrated so that the ecosystem as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts separately.

Cecilia Wessinger, ESHIP Community Activator with the Kauffman Foundation, will present on the current framework known as the “ESHIP Goals”. This set of goals, akin to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals serve as a foundation for ecosystem builders as an approach for growing a professional field of entrepreneurial ecosystem building. Learn about these goals, how they were developed and evolved as well as how you can get involved. Cecilia will share her personal journey from bootstrapping startup entrepreneur and unintentional ecosystem builder to championing efforts in this nascent field throughout this process.

The target group is especially ecosystem builders and developers operating and coordinating ecosystems interested in ecosystem structuring and orchestration.

In the end of the session, there will be Q&A and experiences sharing from other ecosystem builders. Don’t miss it out and book your place!

Many entrepreneurs start their own businesses and focus on all the “logical” issues required to be successful in business, such as a business plan, a good product or service, getting the right pricing strategy, attracting the right target market, setting up good systems and recruiting top notch people. Whilst these issues are very important to be successful, many entrepreneurs do not invest sufficiently in their own personal development and growth.

One of the greatest challenges that any entrepreneur must overcome to be successful is their own mindset.

This powerful workshop outlines some simple and effective tools and strategies to strengthen your mind and drastically increase your personal performance.

This workshop will be delivered by Rachel Jarvis who is a Business Growth Specialist with ActionCOACH Business Coaching.

Who’s it for?

If you are a business owner and

• you know now is a good time to prepare for the future of you AND your business

• you recognise that things that you were doing weren’t going to give you the future you hoped for and you know things need a change for both you and your business

“Failing to plan is planning to fail” – so why do so few business owners plan for their next phase of life? Most commonly we hear that it’s simply overwhelming and they don’t know where to start. In this series of webinars, we address the important issues in business, starting with “How is a business valued?” We’ll share all the tools and frameworks we use to help business owners get more from their life’s work so they can choose how to manage their business and its value on their terms.
