Episode description

There is only one Silicon Valley.

Countries around the world have tried and continue to attempt to recreate the magic of Sandhill Road. But there will be only one Silicon Valley. So what can different startup ecosystems do to emulate the success of Silicon Valley?

This week on The Startup Podcast, Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein dive into the key tenants on creating your own Silicon Valley. 

• What marketplaces do NOT work

• Why governments need to focus on only ONE place to strive for ecosystem success and change taxes to persuade foreigners to move

• How to capitalise on your area’s natural advantages

• How to elevate expatriates

• How to take big bets effectively 

Government. Education. Economics. AI. This podcast covers it all and more. 

Whether you’re a government official, startup founder or operator or someone interested in the startup landscape, this episode is a goldmine for opportunities to make your startup and startup ecosystem a global force.
