Dara Macan of Sourcelink is with us today!

Thanks for the KC Jobs Report mention Victor.

Victor - Boise volunteers!

Love this message.

Start-warming is a great idea!

Beautiful message

www.rightostart.org for the field guide, etc.

COOL! Love this. 5% to start!!!!

For the 34B in Govt skills building contracts, how do new ESOs engage and begin to tap into it? Or not much to do until they flip to the 5% to start mindset?

Victor: Where do you feel we will benefit most in the very broad realm of eship? The cutting-edge fintech stuff? futuristic innovations? Or mainstreet stuff?

To what extent do existing entrepreneurial narratives need to be broken down to allow for this type of model to take hold? Are policymakers too focused on “unicorns” given the prevalence of that narrative? What does a new narrative look like and how do we help it take hold?

Victor - as all regions are not as evolved in supporting entrepreneurs which 2 regions would be TODAY's lab or showcase? S

How might focusing on “bottom of the pyramid” necessity entrepreneurs increasing the well-being of communities vs traditional entrepreneurs (those that can get bank loans or other outside capital)?

Victor: please speak to the importance of the narrative? And where is this narrative engaged? Industry? Gvt? K-12? Parenting conversations? Like your wide-funnel concept.

change the narrative!

@Johan. Yes!!!!

Do you feel that women entrepreneurs will continue to be the fastest growing group of new starts in your projections for 2021, or do you see that slowing due to increasing barriers and challenges?

How would you see the role of talent mobility in the movement? How we may best benefit from talent for transformation?

interesting thesis as one implication is regions are likely to evolve to be concentrators for value drivers for industries (like 3d, medtech, edtech,..).

Victor: do you/we have a distinct voice on Capital Hill, similar to NFIB? Anything similar? Again, who is driving the narrative in Congress?

SO for a right to be successful it needs a tangible BHAGoal - like walk on moon end of decade. What is your BHAG Victor? S

Would love to see that research.

Victor thanks a lot for your detailde answer.

can you share that info?

Center for American Entrepreneurship

@Dara: SourceLink's work is truly appreciated!

Victor: is there a particularly effective lever we can pull to infuse the narrative into poorest neighborhoods, educators, movers/shakers?

Does RightToStart plan to conduct its own research to support its policy recommendations?

Thank you Michael!

what do you think is the role of the universities /higher education centers in the entrepreneurship ecosystem

great question Karen

@Kevin. Yes, and is there research we should now be conducting?

@Michael, collecting primary data and making it available to researchers would be a great service, esp. data from harder-to-reach communities.

Michael has data :)

I am In Hungary studying my PhD

Welcome, Karen! I am so happy to see that we have many people from all around the world join us today.

How do community conduits like Techstars, Startup Grind (the ones who touch the people who touch the masses) best engage in the upcoming months to begin activating? Should we just share your page, or sessions?

Victor: terrific stuff. Thanks. Back to the mindset and narrative, how do we change the narrative for the 997? Is it thru your ambassadors, or can we push it more effectively than organic emergence into the lexicon?

Love this idea!! You are a leader of an entrepreneurial movement.

Baltimore, MD, really looking to build a strong eco system here locally. Please connect with me with any advice.

We did this with my EPI program with CUEED at Rutgers.

My mic is not working

A huge challenge is NOISE. We are overwhelmed with noise, so our message must stand out - our narrative must make sense (like the 85k jobs vs Amazon's 50k jobs).

Norris I have a question

I am told rights follow responsibilities, so maybe the equation for entrepreneurship is based on a BHAG like 5% of everyone's time is invested in supporting innovators, starters, scalers, founders, and I&E ecosystem. Simon Sinek' golden circle promotes with clear WHY, the how and what follow......hence my earlier question on Victor' BHAG. S

Huge thanks to Victor, Norris, Steven, Diana, and others!

back at ya, Michael!

Thank you to everyone who asked questions and made comments. This is the first step. I love the idea of the 97% supporting the 3%. And empowering entrepreneurs as leaders.

BHAG: To level all playing fields through entrepreneurship as an opportunity available to all. Precisely what Victor is doing. Eship can solve everything. So my BHAG is to have eship at the forefront of the national narrative.
