1. Entrepreneurs and avoid the fear of failures
2. Infrastructure (internet, electricity, payments)
3. Education
4. Investments
5. Social connector (this is an important one - almost always ignored - Geekwire used to this in Seattle, etc..)
6. Exits. Hard to in our region with less M&A and IPOs but they will come with time.
7. Alumnis network of successful startups
