“The conversation took a turn when the hosts asked Jeremy about the requirements to nourish a startup ecosystem. He outlined a pyramid of needs, placing a stable political and societal system at the base, followed by education, health and infrastructure in the middle, and finally the ecosystem enablers/accelerators at the apex. He pointed out that people often disproportionately focus on the ecosystem enablers/accelerators, whereas investments into education, health and infrastructure should be the primary focus.”
“When discussing how to attract VC firms to an ecosystem, Jeremy reiterated the importance of comprehensive education – especially for the critical K-12 bracket. He cited Vietnam’s strategy as an example, where government investment in education and infrastructure laid a strong foundation for a thriving ecosystem we are seeing today.”
