What @FrancisSuarez has done is being studied by cities and countries around the world.

After years where Twitter showed us the worst of politics, we have a glimpse of what it can be at its best.

With one tweet, he helped launch a new era of economic development. https://twitter.com/francissuarez/status/1341988801435078656

Mayor Suarez shows a new path for a startup politician.

You can now make an international impact without waiting years to pay your dues & work your way up.

Just support technologically progressive policies & recruit talent online. Now you can build your city with every tweet.

You can calculate the ROI, but if took 1000 tweets for Mayor Suarez to recruit a single billion dollar company to Miami he’d be at $1M per tweet.

And he’s doing way better than that.

Twitter may become the single most valuable economic development channel in the world. @jack

The recipe for a policymaker to become a technological leader is simple.

Find the sector where your laws are among the most technologically progressive in the world.

For Wyoming, crypto. For Japan, stem cells.

Then recruit founders & funders online. And build your economy.

A crucial component of this will be cities recruiting like startups — and tracking their conversions.

Now that politicians can gain or lose constituents with every tweet, helping or harming their city economically, we have quantifiable skin in the game.
