The newly sprouting concept of the startup ecosystem has been attractive for numerous entrepreneurs and organizations worldwide. These people aim to do the best of their ideas and nurture their projects with the utmost care. Great minds filled with unique thoughts encouraged with research and hard work are always in need of discovery. So, such people are always searching for supportive environments to take action with their innovative ideas freely. Creating a startup ecosystem needs a creative way to do so. All these people's main motive stays the same while taking a step into a startup ecosystem: producing. These people wish to improve their working manners while working collectively in perfect harmony in various fields to turn their ideas into functional products.
A combination of various numbers of startups and startup ecosystems is essentially a collective hive of startups that aim to benefit from each other in the most efficient ways. Virtual or psychical, the startup ecosystem is formed by people in the various stages of their startup projects. Being a lesser part of an essential network or a system, startups act as a small cogwheel in a clock to make it work as a part of a startup ecosystem. In a governmental structure, university departments or even small neighbourhood cafes, members of each startup work in different manners to benefit themselves and the ecosystem and foster the future of each community. In order to make a functioning ecosystem, you would need all the parts to support it. Ideas, research, and inventions are the first to make the ecosystem functioning with their high number of possibilities. The second stage would be performed in education programs such as colleges or universities to enable these entrepreneurs to act with knowledge. The rest is filled with teams with different but relevant projects, investors, organizations and events.
