Publisher's summary

As adults, we seem to make everything harder.

We’re driven to accelerate growth in our local startup communities—but in the process, we overthink, overanalyze, and overload even our simplest activities. Before long, our community goals buckle under the weight of our complex adult concerns. Our motivation dries up. Our best ideas fade away, leaving entrepreneurs no choice but to find another city in which to make their dreams come true.

The solution? Channel our inner 10-year-old and build the fort.

With this simple, actionable metaphor, Chris Heivly empowers listeners to replace the grown-up tendency to overcomplicate with his simple framework for effective community and ecosystem building. Energetic, friendly, and relatable, Build the Fort: The Startup Community Builder’s Field Guide provides a compass to move our ideas forward more successfully and propel our cities into the upper echelon of start-up communities.

This audiobook is narrated by the author and produced by J.M. DeBord.

I wish I would have had this 10 years ago

There's nothing more important to growing a startup (or a business) than having the right community. All of the other "hacks" fall after having the right network and support.
This is a step by step to building that community form someone that has done it time and time again.
I wish I would have had this. The startup might fail, but the community support keeps you going.
This is a must read for almost every entrepreneur looking to build something great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
