Entrepreneurial Activism

The purpose of the [Startup Digest]

Posted in startup digest by Chris McCann on January 2, 2010

To start off new years 2010 right, here are my thoughts about why I started the [Startup Digest] and what we hope to accomplish with it.

[startup digest]
I started the [Startup Digest] because I was relatively new entrepreneur when I first moved to Silicon Valley in June after graduating college. I had no family that lived here and not many friends who lived in the area, but I wanted to go to as many startup events as possible to meet other entrepreneurs and become part of the entrepreneurial community here.

After 6 months of work, I can proudly say that I feel I am part of the startup community here in Silicon Valley. I want to spread this feeling and the power of local entrepreneurial cultures to cities worldwide. The [Startup Digest] is simple but the vision is vast, here are the 5 things we would like to accomplish.

  1. We want to promote the entrepreneurial lifestyle and the culture of DOING, to help change the world into a better place
  2. We want to strengthen the pre-existing entrepreneurial communities no matter how small or large they currently are
  3. We want to create stronger bonds between entrepreneurs through relevant events where the startup community meets each other physically in-person.
  4. We want to promote the cross-pollination of ideas & people, from startup communities who would normally never interact with one another
  5. We want to empower the leaders in these startup communities and give them the tools and inspiration to create a huge difference.
