Conversations on ecosystem building and entrepreneur-led economic development.

Builders Live co-hosts Victor Hwang of Right to Start, Brian Brackeen of Lightship Capital, Rae'Mah Henderson of Techstars and Technical.ly cofounder and CEO Chris Wink discuss entrepreneurship's place in economic development strategy, and how to get ecosystems to stop chasing big employers and focus on growing our own.
