Well here is a win for society! Congratulations @FayHorwitt_FC and @ForwardCities! Lead the way!
Want to learn more about our work and the experience of local entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders? Check out the @ForwardCities podcast, Forging Forward. Listen to the season premiere featuring our Director of Research and Evaluation. #Entrepreneurship anchor.fm/forward-cities…
@BDMorganFdn excited to hear from @FayHorwitt_FC @ForwardCities on her journey & leadership becoming an ecosystem builder. #NEOeship strengthened through our Forward Cities participation 2014-16.
@FayHorwitt_FC, president of @forwardcities, sharing her story for ecosystem building with @andystoll at the @KauffmanFDN #ESHIPSummit. The system was not built to do what she wanted to do, so she worked to change the system.
Check out our new interactive dashboard with data on equity in #entrepreneurship for the 50 largest Metropolitan areas in the US! A big thanks to students @DukeFuqua for their support on this project. forwardcities.org/impact/stories…
Read this now & again on the weekend if you’ve never heard of truth-in-lending laws. First state wide one was passed last year. Joyce Klein @Aspen_BOI puts it simply: Transparency laws “don't apply to business loans where's it's still the Wild West” thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/thehill.co…
In the midst of @oscarthinks‘ piece about the only community bank in the Bronx are two beautiful examples of how folks have used information about prospective clients from their social network behavior to broaden credit eligibility. nextcity.org/daily/entry/it…
Excited to see my @ForwardCities colleague, @GunkelNic, VP of Ecosystem Impacts, sharing his policy expertise in collaboration our CEO, @cgergen, and partners, @rainforestbook and @bruce_katz. thenewlocalism.com/newsletter/ent…
Solid reporting @JeffKauflin and @janetnovack that popped into my feed this morning - I very much appreciate how it profiles less known researchers working on the forefront of these issues. #reparations #babybonds #rainydayfunds #cdfi via @idarademacher www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.forbes…
This piece @StartupChamps featuring the ecosystem-building champs #AmandaWest, @andystoll and @ericengelmann is a beautiful reminder that the work of community building is about much more than the start-up community. It’s tending to the entire community startupchampions.co/blog/2020/5/28…
Latest research from #smallbiz superstar Rob Fairlie shows the extent to which #minority and #immigrant business owners have borne the brunt of the fallout from COVID-19. *Important to note these are inactive but not necessarily permanently shuttered. nber.org/papers/w27309
And... 80% success rate compared to GoFundMe and Kickstarter that don’t even hover around half of that rate - the proof is in the pudding 🍮 both for @ioby and #ecosystembuilding cc: @ewhitmore @rainforestbook

Commerce Dept asks for public comments on potentially extending @uscensusbureau experimental Household Pulse Survey (measuring impact of pandemic) past its scheduled end July 31: federalregister.gov/documents/2020…
Read every single of the pieces listed in this thread, and more - you’ve got 400 of them
I could go on & on. But I'll just say this. Since July 2015 I've reported more than 400 stories on how people are responding to economic exclusion in cities, & 46% of those stories include at least one Black source. I've quoted over 900 sources in those stories, 30% are Black.
This promises to be a rare gem 💎 amidst all the poorly worded surveys that are proliferating
Census Bureau has new experimental weekly surveys taking the pulse of small biz and households. Very timely during #Covid19economy. Join us May 20, 2 PM EDT to learn more. Hutchins Center @BrookingsEcon brookings.edu/events/webinar…
“If Casper, WeWork or some celebrity’s makeup company doesn’t survive this crisis, the impact on our lives will be negligible. [...] But if we lose our barber, the fruit store on the corner or the plumber who saved us in a flood, we will have lost a piece of ourselves”
