The Genesis of the Ecosystem: The founding of an accelerator no one believed in

Tonight is about two things: Kicking off the Summit and celebrating a longtime SCN Member, Anika Horn. Anika has been interviewing ecosystem builders for seven years, many of whom are SCN members. She was also deeply involved in the Richmond ecosystem when she lived here, and writes about it extensively in her newly published book, It Takes A Valley.

Grab a drink, settle in, and hear how the Richmond entrepreneurial ecosystem got its roots. Larkin Garbee and Todd Nuckols, co-founders of Lighthouse Network, will share how they built a nationally recognized accelerator despite everyone telling them Richmond wasn't worth investing in.
