Who Benefits from an EcoMap
Entrepreneurs & Business Owners
If you’re an entrepreneur, you’re constantly looking for the resources you need in order to succeed. If your local ecosystem has an EcoMap platform, you’ll always have access to the most up-to-date information about the resources that can support your venture over your entire entrepreneurial journey. EcoMap will be by your side throughout the ride.
Entrepreneur Support Orgs
Entrepreneurial Support Organizations - or ESOs for short - work tirelessly day in, day out to support their local innovators. It may feel like you have to be everything to everyone, but through an EcoMap, you will have a tool to showcase all of your ESOs resources in addition to understanding what else is out there to support your ecosystem’s entrepreneurs. Help break down silos and route entrepreneurs down the proper path.
Economic Developers
Economic Developers have a responsibility to provide resources to businesses in the community in order to maximize the potential that can come from their success. Given that nearly all net job creation in the United States is generated from businesses that are less than five years old, economic developers can use EcoMap as a tool to propel early-stage startups towards becoming key contributors to their economic engine.
