BEHIND THE
NUMBERS
WHY GREATER PHILADELPHIA RANKED
24TH FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP GROWTH
er
T
ica
he release of the Kauffman Growth
Entrepreneurship Index last week
n
left some startup scene denizens
Ci
scratching their heads. The annual
ty
index, which ranks metro areas based
on a composite of data points related to
Bu
entrepreneurial business growth, put
Philadelphia at No. 24 in the country,
s ine
dropping two spots from the year prior.
Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas,
ss
topped the list, followed by Columbus,
Ohio, and Nashville, Tenn. Los Ange-
Jo
les ranked 31st, just above New York at
32. At the same time, the report’s sep-
ur
arate ranking of venture capital-backed
na
exit density — a well-agreed upon mea-
sure of a startup ecosystem’s health —
placed Philadelphia at No. 7, more in the
region’s typical range when it comes to
the myriad rankings out there.
So what’s going on? The Philadelphia
Business Journal rang up a few experts
with deep knowledge of entrepreneur-
ship in the region, as well as a Kauffman
analyst, to hash it out.
Not your everyday ranking
Kauffman’s Growth Entrepreneurship
Index looks specifically at three com-
ponents of entrepreneurial businesses
— the rate of startup growth, the share
of scaleups and high-growth compa-
ny density. The first two are based on
employment numbers, with the rate
of startup growth measuring the aver-
age percentage growth of new employ-
TECH
PROMISING TO STAY IN
CAMDEN, 100 STARTUPS
COMPETE FOR $25,000
The play to turn Camden into a viable tech
hub saw what could turn out to be seminal
moment last week when Waterfront
Ventures, awarded a grand prize of
$25,000 to a startup that plans to make the
city home.
The Camden Catalyst pitch competition

ers in their first five years and share of
scaleups measuring how prevalent it
is for companies that are 10-years-old
or younger to grow to more than 50 by
their 10th year.
High-growth company density mea-
sures the ratio of high-growth compa-
nies with at least $2 million in revenues
and 20 percent average revenue growth
over three years to all employers in a
region.
The growth entrepreneurship
index is one of three indexes from
Kauffman, while the other two mea-
sure startup activity and main street
entrepreneurship.
ls
Often, tech-focused entrepreneurs
focus on exits, valuation, investments,
-
IPOs and acquisitions. Kauffman’s
No
index is designed to examine those ele-
ments in the larger picture.
tf
“If you take a step back and think
or
about this as a policy maker, some-
one who lives in the community, those
c om
things are not that relevant for the typ-
ical person in the city,” said Arnobio
m
Morelix, a senior research analyst for
er
the Kauffman Foundation. “What does
matter is how many companies are cre-
cia
ating jobs, are they growing revenue?”
lu
The middle matters
se
A look at Philadelphia’s numbers show
it does well in the areas of high-growth
company density — better than Boston
— and its share of scaleups, but it’s mid-
— part of Waterfront Venture’s mission to
boost startup activity and job growth in
the impoverished city — drew more than
100 applicants who promised to keep their
companies in Camden for at least three
years and ensure half of all employees are
Camden residents.
Invincible City Farms took the top prize,
which also includes a year of space at co-
working and community center Waterfront
Labs along with additional startup services,
to further its mission to grow both produce
and jobs for Camden’s residents. Founded
by Camden native, chef and restaurateur
Fredric Byarm, Invincible City Farms aims to
reverse Camden’s status as a food desert by
Arnobio Morelix
dle of the pack in terms of rate of start-
up growth.
Morelix said it’s possible the figures
reflect a criticism of the region’s entre-
preneurial ecosystem that’s sometimes
brought up — it has a good amount of
activity in seed stages, and later stages,
especially with large companies in the
pharma and life sciences industries, but
not much is happening in-between.
“Maybe some of these other areas
have a consistency of startup growth,
jobs and scaleups and maybe ours is a
little bit more binary. Either companies
fail or succeed, that’s actually more real-
ity, truthfully,” said Dean Miller, presi-
dent and CEO of the Philadelphia Alli-
ance of Capital and Technologies (PACT).
Miller also wondered if a drastic
slowdown in investments around 2007,
when state funding to Ben Franklin
Technology Partners, is playing a part.
The Innovate in PA program was signed
into law in 2013 changing that, but it’s
possible the dry period’s impact shows
when looking at startup activity years
later.
“In 2012, when the rest of the country
might say we’re far along in our recov-
ery, I’m not sure our entrepreneurial
community, our investment communi-
ty was,” he said.
Rising tides
While Philadelphia fell two spots from
its 2016 ranking, the city still improved
providing organic, farm-to-table fruits and
vegetables to residents while employing
them to do the work.
Here are the other three finalists, along
with descriptions provided by Waterfront
Ventures.

“At the end of the day, rankings are
useful to some extent but can be made
overly complex given the mechanisms
that are used to put them together,” he
said. “If you have good investment activ-
ity to begin with, then you should have
good exit activity.”
All in all, Miller said a region’s reac-
tion to any ranking or list always depends
on how well it did.
“If we were in the top five [of the
growth entrepreneurship index,] we’d be
defending it until the cows came home,”
he said.

W
hen Tom Verrichia got mar-
ried, he and his new bride
held the celebration at Wil-
liamson Wedding & Banquet Center off
Blair Mill Road in Horsham. More than
30 years later, the developer is moving
ahead with plans to raze the structure
that housed the event hall that was a
mainstay in the community for 38 years
before recently closing to make way for
a new retail center.
“It’s bittersweet,” Verrichia said.
In addition to the former William-
son property, Verrichia Co. also owns
an adjacent building that once housed
the Intelligencer, a local newspaper,
and two nearby residential properties.
The structures will be demolished and
Verrichia will develop Horsham Village
Plaza, a $17 million, 35,685-square-foot
retail center at the intersection of Blair
Mill Road and Route 611.
So far, two tenants have been
secured, a 5,585-square-foot Wawa
and a 12,900-square-foot CVS Pharma-
AN EXCITING MOMENT
PENN STATE ABINGTON BUYS OFFICE COMPLEX, TO SPEND $50 MILLION ON NEW BUILDING
Penn State Abington has paid $5.45
million for a 31,000-square-foot office
building at 1095 Rydal Road called the
Rydal Executive Plaza.
The acquisition is a significant one for
the college as it grows in the township,
along with its campus and enrollment.
The school has undertaken $100 million
in development.
It opened its first residence hall this
fall, a $50 million project that houses 400
students and it is planning a $50 million,
40,000-square-foot classroom building
that will eventually be constructed. It’s
just a the beginning of selecting an archi-
tect for that campus project.
“It’s not just for growth but to enhance
the quality of the programs and address
the unmet needs for collaboration spac-
es, labs and new media,” said Dami-
an Fernandez, chancellor at Penn State
Am
er
cy, which will be moving from a Dresh-
ica
er Road location. The remaining 17,200
square feet remains unleased though
n
negotiations are underway with three
Ci
restaurants, Verrichia said.
“The restaurants will complement
ty
the Pennsylvania Business Campus and
Bu
that has been our goal,” he said. “We
wanted to be pedestrian-friendly. Peo-
s
ple can literally walk out of their office
ine
and get something to eat.”
The project sits next to the Pennsyl-
ss
vania Business Center, an office campus.
As part of the development, Verrichia
Jo
will also make a series of improvements
ur
to nearby roads including realigning
na
New Road and upgrading traffic signals
at Blair Mill and Route 611.
Prior to establishing the Verrich-
ia Co., the developer spent years with
Steve Wolfson as the Wolfson Verrich-
ia Group Inc. and tackling such proj-
ects as Main Street at Exton, a big-box
retail center that attempted to take on
the air of a traditional Main Street. The

large scale, the purchase of the Rydal
Road building has its own significance.
The college occupies about half of Rydal
Executive Plaza with a variety of depart-
ments including continuing educa-
tion, alumni affairs and university rela-
tions. Medical-related tenants are in
the remainder of the building and will
remain until their leases expire in 2023.
At that point, the school will evaluate
how it wants to use the building, which
is near a train station.
“The recent purchase of the Rydal
Executive Plaza solidifies Penn State
Abington’s commitment to advancing
our community through multiple hubs
of service across Abington Township,”
Fernandez said. “This purchase allows us
to enhance our facilities, programs and
services to support our students, faculty,
staff and Abington residents.”

ra, Chick-fil-A and Wawa. “It’s a differ-
ent animal,” he said. “Those projects
take two to three years to complete. The
Walmarts took five to eight years. Exton
took eight to 10 years.”
The Doylestown company devel-
ops projects in Bucks and Montgomery
counties as well as North Jersey. The
Wawa and CVS at Horsham Village will
open in about a year.
What all of this underscores is Penn
State’s investment and commitment in
the region, Fernandez said. He believes
campuses such as Penn State Abington
represent the future of higher education
because it provides both liberal arts and
professional degrees to a diverse student
population of which a third are under
the poverty line and many are the first
in their families to attend college. Penn
State Abington has just under 4,000
students.
“It’s an exciting moment for us,” Fer-
nandez said.
Down the road in Media, Penn State
Brandywine completed two projects in
time for this school year. It too opened
its first residence hall, a $32 million
73,000-square-foot building that has 250
beds and a $20 million 31,000-square-
foot student union.

EXPANSION
FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER TO OPEN FIRST
SUBURBAN OUTPATIENT CARE SITE
F
ox Chase Cancer Center is expand-
ing its footprint outside Philadel-
phia with the opening of its first
outpatient care complex in the suburbs.
The Philadelphia specialty hospital
and research institution has formed a
partnership with Suburban Community
Hospital under which Fox Chase will take
over the operation of an existing cancer
center created on Suburban Communi-
ty’s East Norriton campus four years ago.
“We want to provide access to our care
for patients throughout the entire met-
ropolitan area,” said Dr. Richard Fish-
er, president and CEO of Fox Chase Can-
cer Center. “We wanted to find a space
for patients north and west of us to have
access to ambulatory care without hav-
ing to come to Fox Chase.”
Fisher said the East Norriton site was
an attractive opportunity because it pro-
vided an existing site that was underused.
“It’s a state-of-the-art facility,” he said.
“It just needed a faculty to run it, and a
name [provider of advanced cancer care]
to bring patients to the area.”
Under the partnership, Fox Chase will
rent the facility from Suburban Commu-

er
Suburban Community, which is
owned and operated by California-based
cia
Prime Healthcare Services, is expected to
see an increase in oncology admission as
lu
a result of the partnership.
se
“Fox Chase Cancer Center is the pre-
eminent resource for oncology in the
Philadelphia region, and hosting them on
the Suburban Community Hospital cam-
pus is a privilege,” said Bryan Burklow,
northeast regional CEO for Prime Health-
care. “It will take cancer care to a new lev-
el of sophistication along this Route 202
corridor.”
Fisher said Fox Chase expects to begin
providing consultations to breast cancer
patients and radiation oncology services
at the site — to be called the Fox Chase
Cancer Center East Norriton Hospital
Outpatient Center — beginning Nov. 1. It
expects to offer a complete slate of outpa-
tient oncology services, including infu-
sion therapy, starting Jan. 1 provided state
health department approval is secured by
that time.
The center will provide patients with
FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER
access to Fox Chase’s surgical oncologists,
hematologists/oncologists, radiation
oncologists, and support staff. Patients at
the outpatient center will also be able to
enroll in clinical trials testing the latest
experimental therapies.
Fisher said he did not yet have a fig-
ure for how many Fox Chase staff mem-
bers will be working at the East Norri-
ton site when the center becomes fully
operational.
In addition to its main campus and
other care sites in Philadelphia, Fox
Chase Cancer Center — part of the Tem-
ple University Health System — also has a
radiation therapy and imaging center in
Central Bucks County.
In fiscal 2017, Fox Chase Cancer Cen-
ter posted its third straight profitable year
with a net income of $18. 3 million.
Fisher said the specialty hospital “has
not closed the door” on establishing addi-
tional outpatient care centers in oth-
er parts of the region, either in partner-
ships with existing hospitals and health
systems or as freestanding facilities Fox
Chase would build on its own.
Prime Healthcare acquired Suburban
Community Hospital, previously oper-
ated as Mercy Suburban Hospital, from
the Conshohocken-based Mercy Health
System for $25 million in early 2016.
The company and its affiliated nonprof-
it Prime Healthcare Foundation own and
operate 45 acute care hospitals in 13 states
including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Locally, Prime Healthcare — in addition
to Suburban Community Hospital — owns
Roxborough Memorial Hospital in Phil-
adelphia and Lower Bucks Hospital in
Bristol.

CHEF JAMES BURKE, YARDS BREWING CO.

Yards Brewing Co. in November will open
its 70,000-square-foot Yards Brewery &
Taproom at 5th and Spring Garden streets.
I spoke with Chef James Burke, who will
lead the brewery’s first kitchen in its
history.
How much pressure is there to develop
a menu for Yards’ first kitchen? The
development of the menu isn’t where
the pressure lies, as we had a very clear
starting point — great beer, and what
would we want to eat with those beers?
The real pressure will come with the
execution of the menu and meeting the
expectations of our guests. Yards has
spent 23 years building a reputation of
quality and sets a very high standard of
excellence that everyone who works here
needs to work very hard to achieve, and
that is certainly true for us in the kitchen.
YARDS BREWING CO.
How are you developing the menu,
knowing this would also represent Yards?
The beer is the beginning and end of
everything that we’re doing here. It’s the
focal point of this project, and the level of
quality is the driving force behind all of our
efforts. We want to make delicious food
that is best enjoyed with a Yards beer;
we’re already proud of the beers, so that
has to be true of the food as well.
What is the menu inspired by? Not to
sound redundant, but beer. The entirety
of the menu has to be thought of with
our beer in mind; none of this moves
forward without that. For example, Philly
Pale is a lower alcohol beer with a lot of
citrus flavors from the hops and medium
bitterness. We will create menu options
that will enhance those characteristics of
the beer.
What is the trend in brewery food?
It’s the same across the board in food
service, and that’s quality. Our guests,
more than ever, recognize quality in
food and seek it out. To create a truly
seamless experience, there needs to be
consistency. That’s something that Yards
has been doing for decades, and we
intend to continue that.
Are breweries putting more of a
concerted effort in menu development
rather than being an afterthought? I
think so, and for the reason that I just
mentioned — consistency. If you put
so much effort into your brewing, why
would the food, which also represents
your brand, not be held to the same
standards?

The average big bank has about 5,000 branches across

the country. Some of those are right here in Philadelphia—
they call them local. But the fact is, the big decision-makers
are located in big cities thousands of miles away.
At Beneficial Bank, we believe that being a local bank
means more than having local branches. It means people
who have local knowledge and understanding. Local values.
Local connections.
The fact is, every Beneficial employee lives right here.
We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. We know how
to do what’s right by you financially, because we are your
neighbors and, yes, even your friends.
And to us, that’s big. The good kind.
