# Ecosystem Edge

> A sensemaking platform that helps regional ecosystem builders and funders measure partnership health across nine partner types and four development phases, and turn invisible coalition work into investable architecture.

Ecosystem Edge® combines the ECOSYSTEM EDGE® Framework (a field-validated scorecard built from more than 40 regional ecosystem engagements) with Capital Braid™ (12–18 month non-dilutive capital roadmaps for cohort founders). It serves regional conveners, ESOs, university innovation programs, Tech Hubs, NSF Engine teams, foundations, and government innovation offices.
