A short spoken segment describing the collaborative ecosystem in Carlsbad where the city, chambers, organizations, private businesses, and Startup Grind work together. The speaker emphasizes that local government and community organizations are enthusiastic partners, making Carlsbad a unique, currently active example of productive collaboration.
And when I talked to Matt too, there, the city, and that it helps, too, when you have a city that's excited about it, right? So when I'd reached out to Matt, they were excited to work with Startup Grind and to see, you know, what Startup Grind could do and how we could partner. So it helps not just being in this space, but being in a collaborative space where people are like, yeah, let's work together, right? It's like we have these organizations, you've got the city, you've got chambers coming together. And so when you have all these people who are actually willing to collaborate, you've got something amazing there. It's a lot of times it's so hard to get people on board. It's hard to get, you know, the cities on board and the chambers on board and the organizations and the private businesses and then the people involved. And Carlsbad is that special place where all of that is actually happening, and it's happening right now, and I'm so excited to see more of it.
