Startup ecosystem

Also called: ecosystem, three-legged stool, three legged stool, startup community, tech scene

The people, money and organizations in one place that help new companies start and grow. One common picture is a three-legged stool: finance, founders and talent. A company needs all three.

For example: A city has investors and founders, but few engineers who will join a young company. The talent leg is short, so startups there stall when it is time to build.
