Building a thriving local business community can be challenging, especially in areas traditionally overlooked by major startups and investors. Many regions have the potential for economic growth but lack the infrastructure, support, and capital necessary to nurture new businesses. So, how can local connections grow a business in nontraditional entrepreneurial regions? Zachary Kushel addressed this issue by founding Marin Sonoma Impact Ventures (MSIV) in April 2020. Zachary focused on leveraging local talent and capital to foster economic development in the North Bay. By organizing community events, building a network of local founders, and securing investments from residents, he created a support system for startups. His approach involved barnstorming through neighborhoods to gather small groups, pitch his vision, and raise capital, demonstrating how grassroots efforts can lead to substantial economic growth. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Zachary Kushel, Founder and Managing Partner of MSIV, about fostering local economic growth through community-driven initiatives. Zachary shares his journey from working at the White House and Wall Street to founding MSIV and discusses how the pandemic accelerated the relevance of hyper-local job creation.
