We aspire to eliminate barriers so that every person – regardless of their background – can take risks,
achieve success, and give back to their communities.

The whole economy suffers when everyone isn’t able to participate.
…recent research also suggests that the entrepreneurship deficit is related to some of today’s biggest challenges: the jobs deficit, slow productivity growth, stagnant wages, and rising inequality.

the whole system.

Ecosystem builders create invisible infrastructure. It’s not like traditional infrastructure. It’s not about physical spaces, fancy buildings, pools of capital, or big institutions. Instead, ecosystem builders focus on building consistent, collaborative human engagement across the entire system.

A thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem includes these elements:
1. Entrepreneurs and the people that support them. 2. Knowledge and resources to help entrepreneurs. 3. Talent that helps companies grow. 4. Champions and conveners. 5. On-ramps and intersections into the ecosystem. 6. The community’s story. 7. A collaborative culture that is rich in social capital.

"All of the money in the world cannot solve problems unless we work
together. And if we work together, there is no problem in the world that can stop us, as we seek to develop people to their highest potential."
