America the Entrepreneurial is a national campaign to renew the entrepreneurial spirit – and put it back at the heart of America’s story. With our nation’s 250th startup birthday in 2026, it’s time to reignite the energy, creativity, and courage that built America.
Through this movement, every person, community, and leader can become a “Founder” of America’s future. You will join a united network of people who believe in the entrepreneurial spirit and want to make entrepreneurship easier, more accessible, and more celebrated.
You can take easy actions to become a Founder. By doing so, you are driving impact because every action you take is tracked – and it all adds up. Our Playbooks for action are practical guides designed to mobilize people across the country to renew our nation’s entrepreneurial spirit. The playbooks empower individuals, partner organizations, and government leaders to support entrepreneurship where it begins: in communities.
Becoming a Founder is simple. Choose your playbook, take an action, and join the growing movement that’s rebuilding America: one idea, one business, one community at a time. You’ll join thousands of fellow Americans in renewing the entrepreneurial spirit across our land.
