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 communities. Their 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
