SCN Fall Summit 2024

Alfredo Mathew III, SNC host, and Wesley Alexander, CEO of CoBiz Richmond, will be facilitating this session to challenge and expand the perceptions that we may have of our ecosystems, and increase our awareness of the realities that our ecosystems face. They will also help ground and anchor the Summit focused on building community power by reminding us of the critical factors of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, including:

1. The Place Factor 
2. The Culture Factor
3. The Education and Training Factor
4. The Financial Capital Factor
5. The Government/Regulatory Factor

What is the perception and the reality of Bay Area ecosystems? What are the perceptions and realities of your local ecosystem? Who writes these narratives? How do we create a new narrative around building community power?
