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.
