Who is Mo Collins?

The Report
- - Did you read it? If not, a little exposition from Mo…
- - How were the Nevada participants selected?
- - What was the stated mission on commission (ie was there any leading at the start)
- - Let us define *Entrepreneurial Ecosystem*
Points of Discussion
- - We focus more on Southern Nevada, aka The Greater Vegas Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, but there are statewide initiatives…
- - Entrepreneur Support Orgs (ESOs) FTW (eg orgs similar to SRC elsewhere…)
- - Where are the Veterans?
- - Insular communities and people who build bridges
- - Why is Dan Hugo (Me!) mentioned on page 66 (full disclosure: Dan never spoke with anyone with EC or the study, only after the fact)
- - Focus on the Innovation District and Black Fire leaves out a lot of geography and people
- - How about Aspirational Entrepreneurs? Where are they, are they enabled?
- - Saving some for Part II (12 months survival follow-up?)
