At the Bootstrap Austin blog I have just posted an article about how businesses in Austin are organizing, helping each other build their businesses together- despite whether or not the government steps in to help out startup and small business in the present looming financial downturn.  The secret, which you have heard here before at this blog- is that research shows businesses that organize themselves together- have the  best chance of innovating and growing, despite having limited financial resources.  It is my hope that as article is sent out to a few thousand Austinites through the Business District Daily that we take this conversation beyond Austin’s tech elite startup companies, and further engage other businesses in building an even more rich, innovative business ecosystem.
