Why should we care about startups? The CEO of StartingBlock, Scott Mosley, asked and answered that question in his presentation before the Rotary Club of Madison. Mosley says startups are the economy’s net job creators, not small businesses as is commonly believed. He says small businesses tend to stay small, while startups grow.
That’s been the case with one of the startups that has benefited from the programs, funding, mentorship, office space and other services made available through StartingBlock. Rehab Path is an online service that matches patients with mental health providers. CEO Ben Camp says StartingBlock helped his company grow from five employees in 2019 to 60 employees today.
Mosley also noted that Madison’s startup ecosystem is thriving and is considered the number one potential growth center in the nation.
