Dan Miner is telling a Buffalo story. He doesn't know what it is until the people fanning the flames of his hometown's growing innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem tell him. The mission journalism he delivers through the new Series B multi-media platform, is featured in the new episode of Brown and White Ventures podcast. Series B is growing the understanding that Western New York is building a new development landscape by which the region can grow. "We have seen other places have done it and made change: Pittsburgh. "Indianapolis," Miner, the Editor-in-Chief of Series B and Vice President of Storytelling at 43 North Foundation, said. "It takes a coordinated effort from the established business community all the through the economic development apparatus." Miner believes Buffalo's new story, filled with homegrown Western New Yorkers, ex-pats, transplants or talent grown here, is striking a chord with local content consumers and, most importantly, people beyond the region finding out Buffalo's now longer a startup secret. "Everybody working together with a sense of belief. Once we create that, which admittedly, we’re still working and then we put tactics in place that we know it works," Miner said. Behind it all is the 43North Foundation. Series B is just one of four pillar storytelling. There’s also Radial Ventures which Miner says will create new companies rooted in Buffalo with top-level deal flow and companies creating activity. Miner said the foundation also invests in talent by being the primary funding source of Tech Buffalo, the nonprofit working to develop world-class talent for the region. Corporate engagement is another key, according to Miner. "We built these not out of presumptions, but based on research. Together, these are a starting point for the change we’ve seen other places make it work. Places branded one way one or two generations ago, or more, now leading through innovation and getting the word out that they're growing this change." Miner expects Startup Week in Buffalo this week to provide another great opportunity to get the word out, throguh Series B. "Now, we can’t do it alone. We can’t even be the lead in every room. What we need people to understand is we’re charging hard. Our pillars are in the market. And we want people to start with a belief that the changes this region's made in the last 15 years are lasting, and growing a new place."
