What does it take to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem? Being in the NYC Metro Area, I’m fortunate enough to have access to meetups, co-working spaces, and other perks. But for those in Not in major metropolitan areas, you may have to build your ecosystem from the ground up, which is why for Today’s show, I sat down with Jim Roberts, an ecosystem builder and Founder of the Network For Entrepreneurs in Wilmington, NC. Jim is no stranger to the Bunker, where he worked hand in hand with the Bunker Labs team down in Raleigh-Durham, as a community development director. On today’s show, Jim and I talk through his journey building the Wilmington entrepreneurial ecosystems, what he’s learned along the way, and how to build out your own ecosystems in absence of one.
