The City as a Startup

Posted on Jun 21, 2012

The ingredients of a successful city are actually pretty similar to those of a successful startup, as Jon Bischke notes: 

"You need to build stuff that people want. You need to attract quality talent. You have to have enough capital to get your fledgling ideas to a point of sustainability. And you need to create a world-class culture that not only attracts the best possible people, but encourages them to stick around even when things aren’t going so great."
