George Deeb, Managing Partner at Chicago-based Red Rocket Ventures (http://RedRocketVC.com) summarizes Chicago's exploding startup ecosystem. Includes a summary of all the major players in Chicago that are fueling that growth.
How come a fishing village can turn in 30 years into one of China's most innovative and productive city? Who are the people making Shenzhen something more than just a huge factory? What startups emerge from a city which mixes a lot of immigrants, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a fondness for shanzhai, China's creative piracy and geekery?
We've been attending the Shenzhen Maker Faire in April 2014, and were amazed by both the biggest exhibition of tinkerers and hardware geeks, and the quality of speakers in the conference.
We've also spend a day with the teams from HAXLR8R, a proeminent hardware startup accelerator based both in Shenzhen and San Francisco.
Follow our journey and discover how the startup scene of Shenzhen has been progressively built, what makes it different from Shanghai or Beijing, meet its key people and events, and do remember the name of this city as it's evolving into an epicenter of tech innovation, both for hardware startup and life sciences with BGI.

A third world nation just 50 years ago, Korea is now the world's 15th biggest economy, a major force in the global tech scene and home to Samsung, the world's top smartphone manufacturer. It is also rapidly emerging as a regional tech hub and startup hotbed as well as an avid consumer of new technology.
But it wasn't always like this.
This Slideshare provides a glimpse into Korea's tech past to explain how the nation has rapidly emerged as a global heavyweight. Then we dive into the startup ecosystem which has been built on top of a world class tech infrastructure and provide clues to what you can expect from Korea in the years to come.
The Definitive Guide to the Fort Collins Startup SceneChris Snook
Published by Launch Haus for our guests and fellow entrepreneurs, this is the definitive resource for all those working in the startup ecosystem of Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. Inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to Boulder Tech Community and Sam Teller's Guide to LA Startups, Brianne and I have decided to illuminate and connect the world to the amazing resources and players in the NoCo Ecosystem. Future iterations will ensue as we continue our primary research and interface activity.
Version 1.2 Updates (last iteration Feb 2015)
-Added several new resources in the NoCo region from co-working, to capital, to creator spaces and meetup movements. Enjoy and plug in

Get the lowdown of what's going on in the Austin startup scene. These slides are from the Intro to the Austin Startup Scene meetup at Capital Factory http://bit.ly/welcome2austin .
Josh Baer's version of this presentation can be seen at this link http://bit.ly/intro2austin.
delivered presentation again (and updated the slides) on July 29, 2014.
Few countries can boast having a third of its GDP stored as mobile money in the hands of a telecom group. There is no miracle in the rise of MPesa, but a deep understanding by Safaricom of the social fabric of East Africa’s tech and economic hub, as well as a lots of test and try. The lure of mobile money have lots of startups competing into this space, to connect remittances, shopping and payments to the MPesa infrastructure. Other than that, Kenya is also experiencing a double motion in its innovation ecosystem: if it’s definitely a community-driven startup hub, its government is also playing a key role through laws and pharaonic projects.
Chinaccelerator, in cooperation with Tech Temple and GWC, once again hosted their program-annual 10X10 Beijing on March 8th, 2014.
The Geeks on a Train tour takes the Chinaccelerator startups on a ride from Shanghai to Beijing, then back down to Hangzhou before returning to Shanghai.
As part of the tour, the 10x10 conference brings attendees 10 tech pioneers (in this case we had 12!) and top VC's from the startup ecosystem in China. This is an amazing opportunity for attendees to have a peek at the first startup accelerator program in China, meet interesting people and listen to amazing speakers.
As always, each of them takes attendees on a 10-minute tour of their own startup trials and tribulations, wins and losses, then give some great advice and maybe a secret or two about what they learned to help make them the superstars they are today.
These are their slides, we hope you enjoy them. Thank you for supporting Chinaccelerator and entrepreneurship worldwide.

What's Wrong With Silicon Valley's Growth ModelTim O'Reilly
A talk I gave on the oreilly.com live training platform on January 22, 2020, focusing on the way that many Silicon Valley startups are designed to be financial instruments rather than real companies. They are gaming the financial system, much like the CDOs that fueled the 2009 financial crash. I talk about the rise of profitless IPOs, and contrast that with the huge profits of the last wave of Silicon Valley giants. In many ways, it is an extended meditation on Benjamin Graham's famous statement, "In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long term it is a weighing machine."
Ever wonder which technology companies are growing in value the fastest? Play Bigger crunched the numbers & discovered 11 "Super-Unicorns" growing by over $1B in value a year and 89 more of tech's top value creators.

3. Entrepreneur Manifesto
Think BIG, start SMALL. Work with PASSION. Pursue the
IMPOSSIBLE, especially when no one else does. Make
MEANING, not just money. FAIL at an exceptionally high
level. Do something NEW everyday. Build a LEGACY. Help
others chase their DREAMS. GIVE, when others take;
LEAP, when other hesitate; and don't call it work if it is
FUN. PLAY with each other, your assumptions, and the
company. Run 100 mph with your hair on FIRE and when
you come to the edge--jump and build your WINGS on the
way down. REPEAT.
