The Urban Community Newsletter is a monthly newsletter that features startup stories with Startup of the Month, massive professional development experiences with Humanoids of Huntsville, and a dynamic showcase of our greater impact in other hyper-local communities to reflect the innovation movement and startup growth ecosystem that fuels the Urban Engine economy.
The Urban Engine team loves this question.
We rarely hear the same answer twice.
After asking hundreds of people how they ended up at Urban Engine we began to realize the dynamic impact our work has on the communities we serve. So, we started to capture the stories of people in our networks and the unique ways our programs and resources have made a difference in their entrepreneurial journey. Thus, The Collective Ambition was born.
The Collective Ambition™ is Urban Engine’s central hub of impact stories. It is our collection of the notable people and ideas that inspire us to spark, fuel and ignite the next generation of visionaries through our community programming. You will find features of founders and their startup stories with a focus on how their professional developments make an impact in their local cities. Experience the waves of transformation these motivational influencers have stormed through their hard work.

Read MoreUrban Engine is honored to be able to host a fireside chat with David Ewing, President of Firia, Inc. David is a serial entrepreneur and big believer in helping Huntsville become more commercial. Through acquisitions and IPO's, has been part of founding teams and is for the first time running a company completely with just him and his wife.
David Ewing and his wife, Geri, realized that coding software being used in schools was "clunky" and difficult to teach to students. Firia Labs is focused on making it easier to teach students coding, and giving them a skill that they will need for future endeavors.
