# Tracking the stories of entrepreneurs in other startup communities

There was a time, not so long ago, when all of the news about startups focused on — and emanated from — the Bay Area. But gradually, folks across the US and abroad started telling the stories about what they were seeing in their startup communities. [And it’s my belief that it is often through that storytelling that any number of startup communities became self aware](https://medium.com/portland-incubator-experiment/want-to-start-an-accelerator-don-t-start-an-accelerator-fa88e457be0b). So it’s always nice to see a roundup of those publications and the folks who create the content for them. [Like this recent piece from Ecosystem Builder Hub](https://ecosystembuilderhub.com/communities-telling-the-stories-of-their-entrepreneurs/).

> Last year I wrote an article recognizing Emerging Storytellers in the Ecosystem Builder Community – our ecosystem builder peers who are consistently creating and sharing content about ecosystem building, whether that be through written articles, podcasts, or videos.
> 
> But that article felt incomplete to me because it didn’t recognize many other ecosystem builders who are doing a great job of storytelling, but who focus on telling the story of their entrepreneurs in their communities, rather than ecosystem builders at the field level. It’s a subtle difference—distinguishing between storytelling about ecosystem builders at the field level and storytelling about entrepreneurs in an ecosystem at the local level—but it’s one I wanted to make for that particular article.
> 
> Now, I want to highlight communities that are doing a great job telling the stories of their entrepreneurs and their particular ecosystem.

While [Jeff Bennett](https://twitter.com/DigitalSplash) was kind enough to give me a nod — [no doubt thanks to a recent piece by Social Venturers](https://www.socialventurers.com/rick-turoczy/) — please ignore that and take some time to check out any number of amazing folks telling the stories of the entrepreneurs in their midst.
