REACHBACK BELIEVES 

Regardless of your zip code or background

If you are determined to be a leader or scale your business, you should have an equitable opportunity.

The Problem

The exclusivity, bias, and lack of diversity have harmed America's entrepreneurial ecosystem.  

America's entrepreneurship activity is at a 40-year low and many high school students whom we depend on to run future businesses need encouragement from established leaders to find their grit.  So many young talented individuals are hidden in our local communitiesTheir talents have been ignored, investors find them too difficult to work with and leaders who can help them,  can't see their value.

ReachBack Sees Value

OUR SOLUTION

We intentionally design our projects to be comprehensive and long-term, providing participants with enriching education experiences. 

Our mission is to eradicate the lack of entrepreneurship support in the underserved local community.  

Studies show a great number of entrepreneurs (69%) do not think the government cares.

With unparalleled entrepreneurship support, we empower the Community ChangeMakers, that's our youth, young adults, aspiring entrepreneurs, and the small business owners.

When our entrepreneurs win, our local communities strengthen with great social programs, jobs, philanthopy, and access to capital.

We help our beneficiaries win with a winning strategy by taking them on a "Journey of the CEO's Mindset", a ReachBack proprietary model.

The Journey of the CEO Mindset 

Our Curriculum

An integrated entrepreneurship and workforce program immersed with financial education that take local talent to where they want to be in the future.

Our programs help young people increase their motivation for learning by connecting them to real-world leadership and business problems.
