If you haven't already, sign up for The Beat. It's a weekly newsletter offering all of the news, analysis, insights, updates and more on the local ecosystem.

New to the ecosystem?
Start with Inno's Guides, which will provide you with a variety of resources and onboarding materials, including lists of local capital sources and coworking spaces and roundups of regional meetup groups and accelerators. And take a look at our Ecosystem at a Glance feature, which serves as a 30,000-foot view of the landscape.
Situated?
Now that you have a sense of the key people, businesses, organizations and stakeholders that make up the ecosystem, let's go a little deeper.
You can read the latest news and analysis on Buffalo tech and startups here. To get a feel for some of the region's top startups, cruise through our Profiles newsriver. For the latest local venture capital deals, head over to Fundings. For comprehensive features on current issues, trends and topics impacting the community, check out Inno Insights. Finally, you can view News for briefs on recent expansions, acquisitions, launches and more.
Looking for a job or need to network?
Take a look at Forge Buffalo's Careers Directory and Inno's Events directory, collections of local ecosystem jobs and meetups (both live and virtual). If you have an open position or are organizing an event, you can post it directly to these directories.
Inno also hosts a handful of events a year and you can check those out here; you won't want to miss Startups to Watch and Inno on Fire. (Check out our most recent Inno on Fire video from Austin to get a feel for what to expect). And if you're a local business doing amazing things in the community, be sure to nominate for one of our core Awards.
