Most entrepreneurship support organizations are drowning in data they can’t actually use. Here’s what’s going wrong — and what to do about it.
Read NowBreaking down what entrepreneurship-led economic development actually looks like in practice
Entrepreneurship-led economic development requires more than a few programs or events. It takes clear strategy, aligned partners, and the operational infrastructure to support founders and track real outcomes over time. Without that foundation, communities struggle to connect efforts, measure impact, and sustain momentum.
In this session, we’ll break down what entrepreneurship-led economic development actually looks like in practice—from designing effective programs to building the systems that support and scale them.
You’ll hear from Tarsha Hearns of Economic Growth Strategies, who brings deep expertise in ecosystem strategy, program design, and technical assistance, alongside David from Economic Impact Catalyst, who works with organizations to implement the systems needed to manage programs and report outcomes. Together, they’ll share how communities can move from disconnected efforts to a coordinated approach that supports founders and demonstrates measurable impact.
We’ll cover the differences between recruitment and entrepreneurship strategies, what strong ecosystems have in common, which programs to prioritize, and the infrastructure required to support founders from intake through long-term outcomes.
This session is part of our celebration of #EconDevWeek (May 4–8) as we mark 100 years of impact in economic development. From the milestones that shaped our communities to the momentum driving us forward, we’re honoring the past while looking ahead to the next century.
Who Should Attend:
Program managers, ecosystem builders, and economic development leaders who want practical guidance on designing programs, aligning stakeholders, and tracking the results that matter.
