This document discusses the importance of building a startup community and outlines plans to do so. It proposes establishing an online community to make the startup community visible, searchable, and known. It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration, community, and encouragement. Events are scheduled like Friday meetups and a visit to a nearby community to establish relationships and share ideas. Fundraising efforts and partnerships are mentioned to help sustain the community. The overall goal is to fire up and build a strong local startup community through collaboration and engagement both online and at in-person events.
