Right to Start

We’re thrilled to announce that Right to Start Founder and CEO Victor W. Hwang has kicked off the second leg of his cross-country road trip! 🚀 First stop? Fargo, North Dakota with Right to Start Ambassador Greg Tehven! 👉 (Also, swipe to the end to see a surprise guest who is joining Victor for the first few stops!) Victor had the privilege of meeting with incredible entrepreneurs, policymakers, and civic leaders in Fargo. The energy and passion were palpable as Victor talked with each group and discussed how to make entrepreneurship easier for everyone, no matter where they are or what resources they have. Fargo represents the spirit of innovation that we believe in at Right to Start. This stop is just the beginning of the next phase of our journey, which will take us all the way to Washington, DC. ❤️ Thank you, Fargo, for your warm welcome and for being a crucial part of this movement! #LetUsStart #BuildYourDreams #Fargo #NorthDakota

🧠 Did you know that for every 1% increase in entrepreneurship, there is a 2% decline in poverty rates in a state? America will be renewed from the ground up by its entrepreneurs.

Among other joys at the recent Entrepreneurship x Policy event hosted by Arsh Haque, I very much enjoyed hearing from Victor W. Hwang of Right to Start. In a world full of divided preferences, it is refreshing to see there are still ways to improve our democracy that hold universal appeal. What Right to Start is doing is practical and inspirational at once, and I greatly appreciate it for existing at all, and for the benefit of entrepreneurs in this country. Non lobbyist pressure to enact policies that benefit starting businesses? Perfect. Make it happen. This is the kind of thing that lets an economy thrive. I'm not an eager sign-everything-that-sounds-good type of guy - I tend to be reserved and cautious about passing bandwagons. But this one gets my signature, and needs more to lend it strength. Take a peek, see if you're into it. https://lnkd.in/g_RzJDkc #entrepreneurship #growecosystems #investinourselves #economicdevelopment #startups #signthis

Hi, Chicago friends! I'm spending this coming Labor Day weekend in Chicago on my cross-country road trip for Right to Start. Anyone want to grab lunch or dinner?

I’m honored to serve as a Right to Start Ambassador in North Texas/Dallas Fort Worth. Right to Start is a nonpartisan organization fighting to make it easier for everyone to start a business. America will be renewed by its entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are the backbone of our communities, driving job creation, increasing incomes, and generating wealth. Yet, starting and growing a business is often more challenging than it should be. I became a Right to Start Ambassador because I believe that we must all do our role to make DFW the best place in the country to start, build or grow a business. This September, Founder and CEO Victor W. Hwang is driving cross-country from California to Capitol Hill, delivering Right to Start’s Statement of Principles with thousands of signatures demanding more support for entrepreneurs. Those signatures will represent communities across the nation who believe in the power of entrepreneurship to uplift everyone, no matter their background. Entrepreneurship unites us all. According to Right to Start’s bipartisan poll, an overwhelming 94% of Americans believe everyone should have a fair opportunity to start and grow a business. The Statement of Principles is our collective voice to make it easier for everyone to start and grow a business. We are the heroes we’ve been waiting for. It’s time to take action to shape our nation’s future, for all of the entrepreneurs who don’t have a voice. Join me and thousands others in signing Right to Start’s Statement of Principles! Share out with others you know who care about helping entrepreneurs. https://lnkd.in/gsEvXMts #LetUsStart #BuildYourDreams #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship #dfw Right to Start Victor W.
