 The Harsh Truth About Startups & Why Ecosystems Fail

In this insightful episode of Executive Connect, we’re joined by Paul O’Brien—a self-described contrarian
and leading startup economist—who challenges conventional wisdom around entrepreneurship. From
redefining what a startup actually is to exposing why most ecosystems fail, Paul lays out a bold vision for
what it really takes to build a thriving innovation hub.
Learn why most cities are chasing the wrong metrics
Discover the “real” anatomy of a startup (hint: it’s not just building a business)
Understand the massive gap between angel investors and VCs
Hear why Austin’s creative scene is fueling its tech future
And get advice for corporate execs wanting to dive into entrepreneurship
