"With a bit of luck and a lot of dedicated, passionate people, dreams can come true. Jobs, wealth, and new opportunities have emerged, along with a shift in attitudes both within and outside Western New York. This is just the beginning of what’s possible when we focus on what truly matters." – Jordan Levy https://lnkd.in/gQ7ke2hP

As 43North celebrates 10 years of fueling innovation, our founding board chairman Jordan Levy shares the inspiring story of how it all began—from Buffalo’s industrial roots to its transformation into a thriving startup hub. The journey wasn’t easy, but with bold ideas, unwavering determination, and the incredible support of this community, together, we've created something truly special. From the early days of launching 43North to landmark successes like ACV Auctions, none of this would have been possible without the collective efforts of those who believed in Buffalo’s potential. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. Read Jordan's heartfelt reflection on the inception of 43North and the mindset shift that has driven Buffalo’s entrepreneurial transformation over the past decade. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQ7ke2hP
