What Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs Get Wrong: 7 Lessons From the Rest of the Ecosystem 
I have felt a tension between Silicon Valley and other parts of the entrepreneurship ecosystem for many years. It is often framed as high-growth startups vs. mainstreet or lifestyle small businesses, but I think it runs much deeper than that.The consequences of not resolving this tension are very bad for the ecosystem. The article delves into the topic without diminishing the huge impact ofSilicon Valley or overly promoting its virtues. My dream for the article would be for it to help start a conversion.
