Starting up Startup America

Job creation is America's top challenge.

We all have a stake in creating jobs and accelerating the ideas that work to create jobs - which is why it's great to hear things like this:

'The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is moving forward with launching a $1 billion Early Stage Innovation Fund, originally announced as part of Startup America, which will provide matching capital to Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs), targeting early-stage small businesses seeking private institutional capital...

The White House is also hosting the first board meeting of the Startup America Partnership, where board members will announce commitments from more than 50 private-sector partners to deliver over $1 billion in value – from free software to free consulting and legal services – to 100,000 startups over the next three years.' 

This is an all hands on deck moment for America.

It's great to see innovative efforts like Startup America breaking through the morass of the status quo to bring new ideas and energy to job creation.
