Startup Ecosystem   A startup ecosystem​  is formed by people, startups in  their various stages and various types of organizations  in a location (physical and/or virtual), interacting as a  system to create new startup companies. These  organizations can be further divided into categories:  universities, funding organizations, support  organizations (like incubators, accelerators,  co­working spaces etc.), research organizations,  service provider organizations (like legal, financial  services etc.) and large corporations. Different  organizations typically focus on specific parts of the ecosystem function and/or startups at  their specific development stage(s).

          types  but  are  usually  better  known  as  startup  ecosystems  of  specific  cities  or  online  communities  (although  some  may  say  that  due  to social networks, the entire globe is just one  big network of startup ecosystems).    In  addition,  resources  like skills,  time and money are also essential components of an startup  ecosystem.  The  resources  that  flow  through  ecosystems  are  obtained  primarily  from  the  people  and  organizations  that  are  active  part  of   those  startup  ecosystems.  By  events  and  meetings  with   and between  organizations  and  different  people,  these  interactions  play  a  key   role in the  movement of resources through the system helping  to create new potential startups  or  strengthening  the  already  existing  ones  and  hence  influencing  the  quantity  of  startups   build.  Failures  of  startups,  release  people  with  improved skills and time for either establishing  a new startup or joining an already existing one.    Startup  ecosystems  are  controlled  by  both  external  and  internal  factors.  External  factors  as  financial  climate,  big  market  disruptions  and  big  companies  transitions,  control  the  overall  structure  of  an   ecosystem  and  the  way  things  work  within  it.   Startup  ecosystems  being  dynamic  entities—invariably,  they  are  initially  in  formation  stages  and  once  established  are  subject   to  periodic  disturbances  (like  the  financial  bubbles)   passing  afterwards  to  the  recovering process from some of those past disturbances.    Startup  ecosystems in  similar environments but  located in different parts of the world can end  up  doing  things  differently  simply  because  they  have   a  different  entrepreneurial  culture  and  resources  pool.  The  introduction  of  non­native  people  knowledge  and  skills  can  also  cause  substantial shifts in the ecosystem functions.        Grow Advisors www.growadvisors.com @growadvisors

          Internal  factors  not  only  control  ecosystem  processes but are also  controlled by them and are  often  subject to feedback loops. While some of the resource inputs are generally controlled by  external  processes  like  financial  climate  and  market  disruptions,  the  availability  resources  within  the  ecosystem  is  controlled  by  internal  factors  like  people  and  organizations  ability  to  contribute  towards  the ecosystem. Other internal factors include startups success and failures  succession  along  types  of  people  and  available   skills.  Although  people  exist  and  operate  within  ecosystems,  their  cumulative effects  are  large  enough  to influence external factors like  financial climate.    People  diversity  also  affects  startup  ecosystem  functions,  as do the processes of disturbance  and  succession.  Startup  Ecosystems  provide  a  variety  of  goods  and  services  upon  which  other  people  and  companies  depend  on   and  thus,  the  principles  of  startup  ecosystem  management suggest  that rather than managing individual people or organizations, resources   should  be  managed  at  the  level  of  the  startup  ecosystem  itself.  Classifying  startup  ecosystems  into  structurally  similar  units  is  an  important  step  towards  effective  ecosystem  management.   

Startup ecosystem management    When  management  is applied  to  the whole  startup ecosystem, rather than just single startups  or  organizations,  it  is  termed  startup  ecosystem  management.  Startup  ecosystem  management  is  driven  by  explicit  goals,  executed  by  policies,  protocols,  and  practices,  and  made   adaptable  by  monitoring  and  research  based   on  our  best  understanding  of  the  interactions  and  processes  necessary  to  sustain  ecosystem  structures  and  functions.  Thus,the  purpose  of  it  is  to  manage  areas  at  various   scales  in  such  a  way  that  ecosystem      Grow Advisors www.growadvisors.com @growadvisors

          services  and  resources  are  preserved  while  appropriate  resource  use  and  options  for  livelihood are sustained.    Due   to  the  nature  of  the  startup  ecosystem  management  including  the  capability  of  catering  needs  for  ecosystem  management  on  a  long  term  bases  with  its  own  sustainability  through  turmoil  and  disruptions,  the responsibility is typically shared between those with such abilities.  A  fundamental  principle  is  the  long­term  good  production  sustainability  for  startups  by  the  ecosystem;  "intergenerational  sustainability  [is]  a  precondition  for   management,  not  an  afterthought".  It  also  requires  clear  goals  regarding  future  trajectories  and  behaviors  of  the  system   being  managed.  Other  important  requirements  include  a  sound  understanding  of  the  system(   including  connectedness,  people  and  organization  dynamics)  and  the  context  in  which  the  system  is  operating.  Other  important  points  include  an  understanding  of the role of   people,  talent  and  money  as  components   of  the  ecosystems  and  the  use  of  adaptive  management.    Some  systems  for  startup  ecosystem  management  exist,  ranging  from  documented  knowledge  and  tools, to  online platforms, all the way  to specifically developed comprehensive   infrastructure solutions.    Since   startup  ecosystems  are  dynamic  entities—invariably,  they   are  subject  to  periodic  disturbances  and  are  in  the  process  of  recovering  from  some  past  disturbance.  When  an  startup  ecosystem  is subject to some sort of perturbation, it responds by moving away from its  initial  state.  The  tendency  of  a  system  to  remain  close  to  its  equilibrium  state,  despite  that  disturbance,  is  termed  its  resistance.  On  the  other  hand,  the speed with which it returns to its  initial state after disturbance is called its resilience.      Grow Advisors www.growadvisors.com @growadvisors

            From  one  year  to another, ecosystems experience changes in their people, organizations and  environments.  A  financial turmoil constitutes short­term variability in environmental conditions.  The  pool  of  people  resources  also  vary  from  year  to  year,   building  up  during  downturn  for  bigger  companies  and  crashing  as  they  gear  up  their  recruiting.  Longer­term  changes  also  shape  ecosystem  processes—where  the  biggest  startup  companies  eventually  make  big  exists releasing capital and talent to the startup ecosystem.    In  addition  to it,  disturbance  plays  also  an  important  role  in startup ecological processes. The  frequency  and  severity  of  disturbances  determine  the  way  they  impact  in  the  startup  ecosystem  functions.  Major  disturbances  like  a  startup  bubble  burst   leave  behind  an  investment   dry  environment.  Startup  ecosystems  that  experience  severing  disturbances  undergo  primary  succession.  Less  severe  disturbances  like  individual  startup  failures  or  support organization reorganization result in secondary succession. More severe and frequent  disturbances  result  in  longer  recovery  times.  Startup  ecosystems  recover  more  quickly  from  less severe disturbance events.   

Startup ecosystem studies    Startup  ecosystems  can  be  studied  through  a  variety  of  approaches  theoretical  studies,  studies   monitoring  specific startup  ecosystems  over  long  periods  of  time  and  those  that  look  at  differences  between startup  ecosystems  to  elucidate  how they work. These studies can be  carried out in a variety of scales.

          There  are  several  independent  studies  made  to  evaluate  startup  ecosystems  to  better  understand  and  compare  various  startup  ecosystems  and  to  offer  valuable  insights  of  the  strengths and weaknesses of different startup ecosystems.   

Why Ecosystem Development?  Most  organizations  in  the  ecosystem  have  a  similar  base  process,  that  begins at some stage  in  the   startups  lifetime  journey  from  an  idea  to  a  successful   growth   company  and  ends  at  another  stage  of  the  journey.  Between  that  time  the  organizations  function  is  to  assist  the  development of the startups growth.    Different  organizations  and  individuals  operate  and  contribute  at  different  stages.  With  some   organizations  there  can  be  clear  change  from  one  stage  to  stage,  and  in  many  cases  there  are also overlapping processes for different stages of the startups development.    Startup  Commons  has  created  a  technology  infrastructure,   that   ties  in  the  ecosystem  and  catalyzes connectivity for startups and stakeholders.     

Shared Purpose & Shared Technology  By   using  the  same  infrastructure  a  startup  can  easily  be  part  of  multiple  networks  and  organizations  activities  with  single  profile.  All  users  sign  in  and  move  between  different  networks  using  a  single  profile  they  maintain  and  keep  up to  date  and  where the profile itself  is  updated  based  on  the  activities  they  have  participated  in.  Access  to  this  information

          depends on  granted  access  rights  and  the  profile  owners own decisions and actions to share  information.    In   the  beginning  customers  may  enter  and  remain  in  any  of  the  networks,  but  along  with  positive  progress  they can  and  most  likely  will  become  part  of  other  networks  as  part of their  continuing  journey.  As  networks  operate  on  top  of  same  infrastructure  where  the  users  act  with single profiles the information flow can be made effortless.    The  core  strengths  of  the  technology  infrastructure  are  based  on  holistic  ecosystem thinking,  design  and  development,  where  each  of  the  users  and  organizations have their own role and  need  to  manage  their own presence, processes and activities as part of the bigger ecosystem  and  lifetime   thinking  of  a  startup  as  it  interacts  with  multiple  organization,  processes  and  people during their growth journey.    The  core  value  comes  as  a  result  of  each  users  and  organizations  ability  to  contribute  information  easily as  part  of  their  normal  operations  and  interactions with  each  others  and  in  return  gain  up to date information from startups and  entire ecosystem instead of just based on   own activities and information.    By   being  part  of  the  ecosystem,  it’s  easier  to  attract  relevant  members   to  join  the  organizations network and processes, similar to real life, a single user can have multiple roles;  ie  they  can  be  investors,  advisors  or  entrepreneur,  or  all  at the same time, if that is what they  are.  But  at  the  same  time  a  single  user  can  as  well  have  one  small,  but  crucial  role  in single  network.        Grow Advisors www.growadvisors.com @growadvisors
