OUR COMMON MISSION IS:
To create an international network of entrepreneurs driven to solve the critical challenges of our time—from national security to natural disasters, from energy to the environment.
Solving these problems is our generational calling.
WE NOW FACE
CRITICAL CHALLENGES
These challenges have common elements:
Cut across Government, Private, and Nonprofit Sectors
Are constantly evolving
Need immediate, implementable solutions
No one is isolated from the effects of the challenges we face today. We all have a role in the mission-driven entrepreneurship movement.
WE ACCELERATE PROBLEM SOLVING BY
CONNECTING TWO KEY AUDIENCES
University Students
University students are unburdened from the way we have always done things. They have a long-term stake in solving the critical challenges we now face.
+
Government
Government problem sponsors who are close to the problem or have experienced the problem’s pain points and are motivated to implement solutions are crucial to building mission-driven entrepreneurship and innovation in government.
+
Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs bring innovative solutions to life. They work to succeed more than they fear failure.
Uniting university students and entrepreneurs with like-minded problem solvers in government and academia in order to solve critical challenges is mission-driven entrepreneurship.
