About

Feld’s 'Boulder Thesis' for building a lasting startup community.

Official summary

Based on Boulder, Colorado, Feld argues startup communities must be led by entrepreneurs, take a long-term (20-year) view, be inclusive of anyone who wants to participate, and run continual activities that engage the whole stack.

Why it’s an important read

Useful for anyone building or plugging into a local scene - especially relevant for founders in Germany’s regional ecosystems.
