Interviewing the builders, doers, and creators powering Buffalo's economic revival.
Broadview is growing in Western New York. Josh Klemm explains what the credit union is doing with that growth.
He walks through the expansion strategy, the partnership with the University at Buffalo, and why Broadview is backing early-stage companies alongside TechBuffalo and Radial Ventures. He makes the case that talent retention and startup investment are the same problem. He also argues that Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany compete better together than apart.
Klemm’s path ran through public service and tech before community work. He closes with how he protects his attention and the books that changed how he thinks.
