@BeckyMcCray Love it Becky, as usual you gave great advice to @ilovegarick this is why #BBSradio rocks – the people.
@ilovegarick I recommend two strategies to get that community feeling when you’re the only one in your small town or rural area.
1. Broaden your definition of startups to connect with more locals. I understand (very well) your point about local people who don’t care about the online world. However, even in my own small town, I can connect with the few others who do care. We have occasional meetups, and our group includes local business owners, a couple of pastors, and others who are interested in online connections, social networking, and the digital world. Once you start building local connections, you might be surprised by who you find useful.
2. Broaden your definition of local to connect with more startups. Look to nearby larger towns that may have like-minded startups. See if you can create connections to them. Also, look online. Find a group (or start a group) that meets online. Leave plenty of time for social talk as well as business talk in your online sessions. And find excuses to get everyone together in the same place on occasion.
@JamesWroblewski James he is covering his thoughts on that in detail
@ilovegarick Perfect person for that question is beckymccray Garick
How would one create a startup community in a more rural area where people don’t really get “the internet” and could care less about Facebook, Twitter, or ANY social networking/digital websites?
Can you ask Brad about his suggestions for helping us strengthen and continue growing the vibrant Houston startup community. Specifically, how we can overcome our geographically diversity and the best way to get to the next level? Only $150 million of VC deals were in Houston last year according to Kaufman, or roughly 1/10 of Chicago not to mention NYC, Silicon Valley or Boston! Thanks!
@dino_dogan Dino we love how you bring to #BBSradio such enthusiasm as well as great advice during your blogger segment.
Ya, I have a question for Brad.
Do you feel the investing bubble is bubbling up right now, especially in California?
Or to phrase it differently, it seams that a lot of poorly thought-out platforms are getting a lot of money. Example, NextDoor got 18 Mill in funding. See analysis here http://dancristo.com/2012/07/24/need-a-quick-18mm-start-a-social-network-2/
It looks like a start of a new tech bubble from the outside looking in. How does it look from the inside?
Thnx in advance, Brad. Big fan of Do More Faster
