In this episode, Terry Rock rejoins the show to provide an update on what Platform Calgary is up to since his last appearance in December 2019. Platform Calgary is on a mission to create a front door to Calgary’s innovation ecosystem by driving faster connections between talent, ideas and capital. By facilitating these connections and removing barriers, Calgary-based businesses will have greater access to many of the tools they need to succeed, scale and flourish. 

Founders are drowning in options to grow their business and spending time trying to put together fragments into a cohesive strategy can take a toll — and reduce the time a Founder can spend in their business. Terry explains how it takes a village to raise a business, and building a community space where the village can come together is crucial to long-term, sustainable success. Discover how to build an ecosystem with partnerships and how to determine the key performance indicators for measuring its effectiveness, along with key insights into how Platform Calgary can help your start-up to scale up more efficiently.
