The Internet might be truly global then, but the world of startups still revolves much around Silicon Valley. To my surprise, the ideas and technology behind that startups were not superior to the ones we have in Finland. The incubators and co-working spaces are on par with what we have. Silicon Valley is a hub. Down to Earth.

That data is completely consonant with the people I know who are successful technologists today, and similar patterns are documented in each recent wave of technology innovation. We also learned that law is code , and that leadership was needed to build thriving communities in a digital age. Its this second point I want to emphasize.

The other revels in the world as we all know it will be someday: limitless distribution enabled by new technologies, the importance of collaborative filters, and on-demand availability of all content for end-users. But the same technologies that make life difficult for traditional marketers also offer them unprecedented new opportunities.

I want to talk specifics, and when you come right down to it, most technology startups dont have a very interesting cost structure. You are doing the startup community a great service by sharing your insights via your blog. Sounds a little abstract, though, doesnt it? Almost all of it is in one giant fixed-cost bucket: salaries.

If you look at the typical startup, you will see the vast majority of their energy and time invested in building new technology. We act as if the biggest risk to startup success is that the technology won’t work. Take the example of the Hoverboard. Take a look and let me know what you think.

To succeed in this ambitious initiative, the academic, business, and entrepreneur communities will need to collaborate closely. But it is not enough to simply have technology tools and risk capital in hand to build a sustainable innovation ecosystem. In my view this commitment to collaborate is in place. Why is this the case?

whorunsgov : Eric Ries: Startups fail not because the technology works, but because no one wants the tech. Its natural at a gathering like this to focus on new technology and applications.

Introducing the Lean Startup Cohort subscription program

Startup Lessons Learned

AUGUST 8, 2009

Each company would enroll two leaders in the series, one on the technology side, one on the business side. In between sessions, this cohort of companies would have the opportunity to act as a learning community, sharing what theyve learned and supporting one another as they try to put the techniques into practice. Great idea.

This is potentially a politically sensitive question, but I would say that in parts of the United States people are using technology actively. Tell us about the No Fear community site that you’ve put together. I say this because Finland, where I come from, is really bad at this. He’s my neighbor.

FEBRUARY 11, 2009

Heres the short version: hire people from the online communities that develop free software. Beyond the quality of the candidates themselves, Ive noticed three big effects of hiring out of free software communities: You can hire an expert in your own code base. Once youre part of the community, a big question is who to try and hire.

So heres my simple question: What do folks in Washington need to know about the global community of entrepreneurs? Of course, the real thanks should go to a startup - Gogo Inflight Internet - that I was lucky enough to meet at a recent workshop.

JANUARY 12, 2009

The number one reason I keep coming back to PHP is that it has overwhelming community support. Ive written elsewhere that success in creating a platform is "becoming a function not of the size and resources of the company that builds it, but of the size of the community that supports it."

We were building a community, open to anyone who shared its values, and that mission inspired volunteers and staff to try and reach out to as many people as possible.
