This is a short presentation on some of the learning derived from research in New Orleans, Omaha and Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, on how to catalyze and begin to build a connected network/ecosystem for entrepreneurs in a city not traditionally known for a strong entrepreneurial culture. This presentation is not intended to present a comprehensive solution, but rather some key principles and a common theoretical model that has emerged in the research. This is certainly a work in progress and your feedback is welcome
Andy Stoll is the co-founder of Startup Iowa and Iowa-based Seed Here Studio, a social good startup working to catalyze a more connected community of entrepreneurs, creatives and the people that support them in Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, Iowa and across The Silicon Prairie.
On 17 February 2015, Doing Something Good facilitated a half day Insights and Innovation Lab in partnership with Vicsport and VicHealth to explore the changing business of community sport, and how clubs, associations and other service providers might respond effectively to emerging trends and the needs of Victorians to engage them in sport.

Why do communication strategies often not work? How is a vision different than a mission statement? How can marketing materials, websites, and social media interactions reflect this vision? How can you tap into deeper emotion and motivation for donors, stakeholders, employees, and volunteers? This webinar will explore what is beneath and beyond strategy – how to become more digitally and operationally aligned with what matters.

Attendees Will Walk Away With:
- Knowledge of how social media is changing the way nonprofits operate and what it means to be a networked nonprofit

Startup Community Alchemy: A Model for Building An Entrepreneurial EcosytemSeed Here Studio
This model is a work-in-progress being developed to help formulate a model to implement real world strategies towards growing an entrepreneurial ecosystem/community in a place not necessarily known for such things.
It is based on research and real world success in New Orleans, Omaha, Kansas City, Boulder, Nashville and Des Moines and is currently being lab tested in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City region of Iowa. It is meant to be a broad based model that can be used to implement location-specific solutions that takes into account local resources and conditions in the particular city.
Feedback, constructive criticism and comments are welcome and encouraged.
We are available to present, share or discuss this at your event, organization, conference or individually.
Please feel free to contact us.

Our region, the greater Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area, is a place that supports innovation, collaboration, imagination and making new ideas happen. This presentation outlines six strategies we will take as a seven county area in 2013 to continue to identify, connect and shine a light on the thousands of people in our region who live these ideals every day. Together, we'll strengthen our communities and celebrate our success, letting it be known far and wide that we are proud of this place we call home, our brilliant neighbors all around us, and the huge opportunities that present themselves here all the time.
