LEARN ABOUT US
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 Three Key Audiences
Problem Sponsors
Government agencies, businesses, and NGOs have urgent and emerging problems that resist easy resolution.
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.
Private Sector
Entrepreneurs bring innovative solutions to life. They work to succeed more than they fear failure.
Uniting university students and the private sector with like-minded problem-solvers in government and academia in order to solve critical challenges is mission-driven entrepreneurship.
