Over the last few months, a lot has been said about the upcoming changes to StartUp PHL and more broadly about city and state involvement in fostering an environment that supports local startup growth.
As a non Philly-native who chose Philadelphia as home for my company, VeryApt, and as a StartUp PHL portfolio company, I thought it would be helpful to give my perspective on the program: how it’s driven Philly’s tech ecosystem and how it can be even better the second time around.
