Today’s episode is a special one as we welcome Jared from Village Capital and Tarik Sultan to chat about startup ecosystems

VilCap is unique in that they have a peer driven investment model... Sultan ventures is excited to spearhead the Hawaii community as a member of their inaugural communities program.

In today’s show, you’ll learn about Vilcap's investment model, what the VilCap communities look like and how they were selected, what government's role should be in ecosystem conversations, how important universities are, and Jared's take on the Hawaii startup ecosystem: how we compare to other cities, how we can improve, and what his experience has been like here.

We have a blast chatting, lots of good stuff so please enjoy my conversation with Jared Marquette and Tarik Sultan on startup ecosystems.
