Our EcoMap has served as a rallying asset for our region. It is a tangible, visual demonstration of how our ecosystem partners come together and is allowing us to see the life of the ecosystem as it grows.

There are dozens of organizations across our state working fiercely to support entrepreneurs, but no single, accurate, and accessible source of truth that profiles their work and the resources and opportunities they sponsor. Adopting an EcoMap solution means that Arkansans now have a digital, central hub to connect with the offices committed to helping them grow their business, making it a vital tool for our statewide community.

EcoMap really serves as the front door to an ecosystem… When I show people the activity within these ecosystems it’s hard to conceptualize it without an entry point.

[EcoMap] is our go-to for showcasing Tennessee’s entrepreneurship and innovation resources, organizations and events across the state and makes it easier for users to filter for relevant information for their startup. It also saves our staff time because we have the EcoMap team to help curate Startup Tennessee’s content.

At our very first beta testing event, a woman who was on the platform for only 20 minutes broke down in tears … for how grateful and excited she was to be able to access all this information [about Indiana’s business resources].
