Ecosystems don’t thrive on ambition alone — they grow through alignment, shared vision, and the power of collaboration across institutions, sectors, and communities. But what happens when the pieces don’t quite connect? If we could do it all over again, how would we work differently — together?
In the final session of our “If We Ran It Back” series, we turn our focus to placebuilders — the leaders shaping policy, programs, and partnerships at the regional level. Hosted by Shawna Wells, Legacy Specialist and Founder of 7Gen Legacy, this conversation will explore how we might reimagine collaboration to better support founders, elevate community priorities, and foster entrepreneurial success with intention.
Together, they’ll unpack the question: If we knew then what we know now — how could we have partnered better, moved faster, and built smarter to uplift entrepreneurs and communities alike?
