Hear ye a vetted word for technologists, entrepreneurs, investors and ecosystem builders in 2018. Inclusive ecosystem building will become more mainstreamed. More policy makers, government leaders, chambers, foundations and funders of traditional economic development will embrace the reality that entrepreneur-led inclusive ecosystem building is the model of the future. Silicon Valley will continue to lose the privilege of referring to itself as the “gold standard” of tech ecosystems, startup communities and meritocracy. In response to this exodus, a large west coast technology company will make a multi-year billion dollar commitment to global and comprehensive inclusive ecosystem building.
