]]> Comment on New York Startup Scene is Hot by Chris Schultz http://chrisschultz.net/2009/12/03/new-york-startup-scene-is-hot/comment-page-1/#comment-105119 Chris Schultz Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:18:28 +0000 http://chris-schultz-stage.flatsourcing.com/?p=745#comment-105119 @Chris - thanks for your comment. In terms of virtual versus in-person, I really think that the value of this program will flourish with real face-to-face interactions. A major part of the inspiration for the program is the interest that CEO's have in visiting NOLA, working here, and mentoring folks here. IMHO, I think that real life collaboration initially, followed by virtual follow up would work really well. A virtual relationship would sustain things after people meet. @Taylor, you're exactly right, it is like the Startup Founder Visa program. I think the idea of the "Exchange" makes lot of sense. Thanks for both of your input. I'll keep pushing it forward and keep y'all posted. @Chris – thanks for your comment.

Start with a physical, NOLA up-and-close immersion, and then continue the relationship using virtual tools. That's really how we create, build and maintain powerful relationships these days. I'm not sure mentorship is really what a startup founder needs from NOLA, though; more powerful is access to talent, money, users and customers; a stronger relationship with another city would help on a couple of those fronts. And really, NOLA won't grab you until you've been there. Chris: It's like taking the Startup Founder Visa program to the local level, the Startup Founder Exchange. My guess is that the economics would be harder to sell to GNO/LED et. al., but that could be countered by keeping costs low, structuring the immersion experience differently, and focusing on the experience startup founders really want. Perhaps we could float the idea to the Hacker News community and see what they think / see what it would take to bring an early-stage founder down for a bit?

But seriously, I do like the idea but what about virtual mentoring? I'm thinking of the cost, time and effort it would take for a NY startup CEO just to "visit" for a couple of weeks. Why not an ongoing relationship between NY startup CEO & NOLA biz that lasted months through virtual mentoring? With the use of video conferencing, collaborating of business plans, and a good source of advice it would be a win-win. A strong NOLA/NY connection could be established. NY startup CEO is always welcomed to NOLA for business or pleasure. NY startup CEO could still talk up NOLA to his business partners to spread the seeds. But I think that you are hitting on a more important topic. That New Orleans really does need to be connected to other cites. Foster relationships that can build trust and all that good stuff.
