The more advanced an entrepreneurial ecosystem, the more evolved the intra-investor collaboration is around a company.
It takes a village, and a series of hand offs to properly finance a company for long term growth, and where that ecology is lacking companies can languish.
An example of this ecology
A founder will back a former employee, as an angel, bring in other angels and funds, a seed fund will lead, and bring in the right series A fund, who will backchannel to a growth investor, who brings in the bankers, and the company IPOs.
This ecology also shapes hiring, social proof, derisking execution, product, persuading executives to join, debt financing, partnerships, acquisition offers.
Regional ecosystems can have talent but without this ecology a company will get stuck at a certain level.
