Why it matters
Barriers to entrepreneurship are high and most existing support (accelerators, incubators, VCs) are only accessible to a few and mainly targeted at tech entrepreneurs.
Only approximately 18.3% (1 million) of all U.S. businesses are minority-owned and about 19.9% (1.1 million) of all businesses are owned by women.
Women, ethnic minorities, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds have less opportunities to get mentorship and/or access to professional support networks. This negatively impacts their chances of success in businesses and reduces confidence to start a business.

Oneday
The bulk of startup incubator programs or platforms exists for the top 0.1% of tech founders. But such an offer doesn’t exist for everyone else in the world who wants to create a business. I believe that becoming an entrepreneur should no longer be a niche activity.”
