Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Culture
The Culture Factor is more qualitative and appears in local attitudes about entrepreneurship, support of small businesses, celebration of new business openings, and even our willingness to accept the risk of failure with new business ideas and concepts.
The Culture Factor largely consists of the following examples:
- Media features on small business and new business announcements
- Presence of buy local and promotions like “Shop Small” campaigns
- New residents opening businesses
- Small business owners engaged in local civic organization
