Innovation does not grow in isolation. It depends on people and organizations who connect startups, investors, academia, corporates, and public institutions. People who are willing to work on the hard, structural problems in between. These actors are often called ecosystem builders. Their role is critical, yet it is still rarely supported in a structured way.
