Startup Ecology | 78 followers on LinkedIn. Startup Ecology is a Startup for Startups With our online school, exclusive founder's club, and evidenced based approach to marketing and product development we represent the most forward-thinking and effective way to build startups. We have our roots in the idea of startup acceleration, but we differ from the old (and increasingly inefficient) accelerator model in a number of ways. For example we: ~ Use a cradle to exit model and stay with the entrepreneur until they succeed ~ Focus on training and peer coaching ~ Focus on collaborative community with mutual investment incentives ~ Focus on developing the entrepreneur first and the idea second ~ Focus on creation of exceptional teams ~ Focus on scientific methodology ~ Our filter and churn model, based on open admission and self-filtering is more effective than the standard application process ~ and above all we provide performance marketing support with our own full stack marketing team As we raise our first fund in 2016 we will become the first ever Nano - VC
