Company Description

Startup Ecology uses science and psychology to help startups build faster and better, in a trained-community-driven environment.

Why is startup ecology is so different? What it is : Startup Ecology is a better way to teach entrepreneurs to build startups - Their do this by creating an environment that forces us to think better and work more effectively. Think of it Like the Xavier school for gifted startups - Startup Ecology is a leap forward in startup evolution. Why it matters : Startup ecology is a chance to make history. This approach has never been done before. It is a new way to turn ideas into customers. Their do this by placing the best of coworking, accelerators, hackathons, and tech campuses, into experience. Their have begun with a physical -real world model and are exploring how to bring it into a online model. How it works : Entrepreneurship is an innovative art (unlike business management which is taught as an administrative science, but could use a bit more art.) Learning to become an entrepreneur from a book is like learning to become a designer or a musician from book. It usually won’t happen because the learning the arts requires skill set training in peer driven environment. Startup Ecology is the first ever co-working environment driven by the principals of skill set training in a peer based environment. Startup Ecology blends best practices in startup development with advanced thinking in organizational psychology. This allows entrepreneurs with a startup idea to be part of a workspace that trains them, mentors them, and grows them through peer interaction. This is much more than a mere co-working space, and has significant advantages over incubators and accelerators. Projects that emerge from Startup Ecology Community will be in an excellent position to obtain funding and other growth opportunities. Problems that their overcome: Hindsight bias - by overvaluing successful case studies, mentor bias - overcoming the knowledge curse bias, and by shifting thinking dynamics rather than just loading more knowledge and information.
