Notes from our CEO: Navigating a New City with Kiksasa Ecosystem

Imagine this....

You are a new founder, arriving in a new city, ready to make it big.

Your ride-share drops you off on a busy street corner at 9:30 am.

What do you do next?

Our suggestion?

Open up the local @Kiksasa Ecosystem map.

Suddenly, the local entrepreneurial ecosystem is laid out in front of you.

One block ahead is a coworking facility with a relaxed vibe, offering an open lunch event. There's food, wi-fi, and comfy desks! And they have a coupon code for three free days of desk surfing!

Three blocks to the left - a tech happy hour at a local microbrew pub starting in a few hours!

Two blocks to the right, on the 14th floor - a presentation by local VCs on raising your first investment. On the 9th floor - a presentation by the local Chamber on how to bootstrap using free resources. On the 22nd floor, a panel on surviving startup life.

About a mile away - a local hacker house. You send the student running the place a message via the Instagram account on the Ecosystem page, asking if they have a couch you can crash on for a few days.

A short subway ride away, an open pitch competition at a local incubator starts at 6:00 pm. A local pizza joint offers free food and kombucha.

Three blocks from the pitch competition, a new local startup is having its launch party, complete with a world-class DJ.

One street corner. One opportunity to connect after another. One day full of possibilities.

One browser window.

Welcome to the Kiksasa Ecosystem.


Have a great time exploring,

Kelly
