Think about the statistics… Less than 1% of startups succeed. Probably, a majority of this 1% is within an exclusive circle in some way, or are based in SF or NYC.

I fail to see the connection. AFAICT makerspaces aren’t really about startups…? Or am I missing something?

A makerspace is just a particular kind of startup. Not all will succeed. Indeed, one could argue the OP’s space is failing…
