How to Build Thriving Entrepreneurial Ecosystems that Transform Our Communities ~ Release Date 9/15/26
A practitioner's guide to entrepreneurial ecosystem building, drawn from a decade of field research, podcast interviews, and on-the-ground conversations with more than fifty community builders across the United States (and a few beyond). It tells the human story of the connectors, conveners, and community champions who work behind the scenes to create the conditions in which entrepreneurs can find support, build relationships, and grow businesses that strengthen local economies. Part narrative record, part practical field guide, it is the book the ecosystem building field has been waiting for.
If you have been to any events at Staunton Books & Tea in Staunton, VA in the last two years, you have probably met Anika Horn. She hosts their international book club and the Staunton Reading Society. She organized the inaugural Shenandoah Valley Indie Bookshop Crawl and is a community builder through and through. After a decade of building entrepreneurial communities (four of them in Staunton), she has poured all of the lessons, and those from 50+ practitioners from around the US, into her first book IT TAKES A VALLEY.
Anika is having several launch events in the Shenandoah Valley and beyond, the first one hosted by Staunton Books & Tea at the Staunton Innovation Hub, Tues, September 15 (click below for tickets). After the launch, the book will also be available for shipping or pickup at Words Matter Gift Shop in Staunton, VA.
