Buffalo's moment
We've spent the past 15 years building the scaffolding of a robust innovation economy. From the 43North competition to ACV Auctions to Odoo, Kyklo, Viridi, Guidesly and more -- we've had the kind of success that breeds a confident future.
A culture of abundance
Buffalo has operated in silos for too long, a psychology that owes its legacy to a half-century of Rust Belt stasis. That thinking is over. If this city is to succeed, it needs everyone pulling in the same direction. We must rally together to drive true impact.
Storytelling drives impact
The 43North Foundation created Series B after it studied successful innovation economies throughout the U.S.. and found that a ntetiona, coordinated storytelling is a powerful mechanism for change. Series B will represent the concept of progress and opportunity in Buffalo, NY.
Thriving community
The story of Buffalo as a new frontier of innovation starts with high-growth companies.. But it also includes the undersold tale of this community: walkable neighborhoods; big-city sociocultural amenities; a Great Lake during the summer, bountiful skiing during the winter and Josh Allen touchdowns pretty much all the time.
43North Foundation:
Investing in the future of Buffalo
