Philly Startup Leaders has developed a
map showing the locations of many startups, various companies, accelerators, coworking spaces, investors, and a variety of services. It's the most comprehensive map I've ever come across, and having a map like this when I first started my
thesis would have been a great aid. It would have sped up the interviewing process of finding entrepreneurs across Philadelphia. To find entrepreneurs, I to attend the different organizations like
Philly Tech Meetup, Philly Startup Leaders,
Philly Startup Weekend,
Founder Factory, and various other events where entrepreneurs gather in order to tell them about my thesis and find prospective interviewees.
Having trekked across Philadelphia to find and interview people within the startup ecosystem, I mapped out and discovered relationships. Though it's not even close to being as comprehensive as the map above, it sheds light on the relationships between the different types of organizations and how they influence and sustain each other.
