This morning the White House announced the Startup America Partnership – a public/private effort bringing together an alliance of the country’s most innovative entrepreneurs, corporations, universities, foundations, and other leaders, working in concert with a wide range of federal agencies to dramatically increase the prevalence and success of American entrepreneurs.
The Startup America Partnership (www.startupamericapartnership.org) will marshal private resources to scale up a portfolio of proven models at every stage of the innovation funnel, from the first stirrings of entrepreneurial ambition to the market success of a new firm. One of the core outcomes of the effort is to expand entrepreneurship education and mentorship programs that empower more Americans not just to get a job, but to create jobs.
NFTE Alum, Zoe Damacela, will be the lead off speaker at the White House event today telling her inspirational story of how entrepreneurship changed her life.
