GOVERNMENT Leaders

America was built by entrepreneurs, and it’s time to make entrepreneurship the heart of our national story again. As we approach America’s 250th startup birthday, this national campaign is reigniting the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our economy, strengthens our communities, and shapes our shared future. Every person, community, and leader can be a Founder of America’s future, helping renew opportunity, innovation, and optimism across the country.

Becoming a Founding Government Leader is a public commitment to champion entrepreneurship where you serve, celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit, and take meaningful action to support entrepreneurship.

As a Founding Leader, you will join mayors, governors, legislators, government leaders, and other public leaders across the nation who are helping create entrepreneur-friendly communities where anyone can better start and grow their dreams. Together, we’re renewing the entrepreneurial spirit that built America and forging a stronger future for our nation.
