Excellent post Bob. I recently wrote about how many businesses, especially those who view government as the culprit in all of their failures, rely on these ecosystems, but more importantly an environment that is conducive to startups. What no one talks about or writes about is nurturing small business startups once they are up and running. With many business failures in the first five years, government, economic development organizations and institutions fail to remember that the chrysalis needs nurturing to become a butterfly (or moth if you prefer). Thanks for your insight.
