The Money Isn’t the Problem
from The Disruption Lab · host Kevin McGinnis
Everyone assumes that underinvested communities, early-stage ecosystems, and emerging innovation hubs need more money. More grants. More venture. More philanthropic dollars. But the evidence from 50+ conversations on this show tells a different story. The communities and companies that are actually building durable growth aren’t the ones that raised the most capital. They’re the ones where the capital was designed — with the right governance, the right accountability, and the right timeline.
