ESHIP Alliance
Join the Movement to Strengthen Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
At ESHIP Alliance, we believe thriving communities start with thriving entrepreneurs — and entrepreneurs thrive when ecosystems do.
Across the country, ecosystem builders are connecting people, resources, and ideas to create more inclusive, resilient economies. From rural regions to urban innovation hubs, they’re transforming how communities support entrepreneurs — and redefining what local economic growth looks like.
Why This Matters
Ecosystem builders are the backbone of community-driven entrepreneurship.
They convene partners, close gaps in access, and create
opportunities where others see obstacles. But too often, this work
goes unseen, unfunded, or unsupported.
That’s where the ESHIP Alliance comes in. We’re building the field of entrepreneurial ecosystem building — equipping local leaders with the tools, connections, and shared learning they need to make lasting change.
