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.
