Prosperity Building Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

For a majority of communities, the Silicon Valley approach to entrepreneurship fails. Why?

There are many reasons, but in short, it is because every community is different and entrepreneurship is not a one-size-fits-all process.

Prairie Entrepreneurship believes cultivating the unique characteristics of local entrepreneurial ecosystems is a better approach. It builds on the connections in your local entrepreneurial ecosystem and discovers the collaborative goals shared by educational, governmental, non-profit, and private partners.

By acting in partnership on collaborative goals a community's long-term prosperity and well-being takes root and grows.

”The 'dignity of work' is often missed in discussions about AI-induced unemployment, side hustles, and billionaire entrepreneurs.
It may surprise some, but businesses aren't required to serve the dignity of work, nor the prosperity of a community.
If they do, it is a choice.
Yet, in my entrepreneurial experience and research into entrepreneurship worldwide, I've found there is a large unrecognized percentage of entrepreneurs who center the dignity of work and community prosperity with their entrepreneurial visions and goals.

I call them 'Prairie Entrepreneurs'. They are producers of products and services, as well as builders of the 'dignity of work' and the future of a thriving civil society. They work with dignity in pursuit of a wider prosperity on the door steps of a new era - the wide open plains of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

In my view, they are uniquely qualified to navigate and create a prosperous future with human dignity at its core, and deserve to be recognized, heard, and celebrated."

- "Dr. Brad" Canham, Prairie Entrepreneur Chief Visionary
