Founding MAYORS

To renew America, we must renew our entrepreneurial spirit. As we celebrate our nation’s 250th startup birthday, every mayor has the power to make a difference by taking simple, turnkey actions that put entrepreneurship back at the heart of the American narrative. 92% of voters say it’s difficult to start a business today. ‍At the same time, 94% of voters, across party lines, agree that it’s vital to America’s future that everyone has a fair chance to start and grow a business.

‍America the Entrepreneurial, a campaign of Right to Start, helps mayors turn support for entrepreneurs into visible, practical action in their communities. More than 120 mayors have already stepped forward, with 30+ proclamations issued across the country.
‍
America the Entrepreneurial gives mayors the tools, resources, and hands-on support to turn a commitment to entrepreneurship into action. You’ll also join a growing national network of mayors leading the way toward a more entrepreneurial America.
Mayors across the country are stepping forward to make entrepreneurship a local priority. These Founding Mayors are helping lead the way.
