- Description
- https://www.whitehouse.gov/demo-day The White House has announced the first ever White House Demo Day to highlight and encourage innovation in the Nations' start-up economy. The planned event differs from many private-sector Demo Days, where entrepreneurs pitch funders. Instead, the event will profile individuals' and teams' success stories that exemplify how to expand diversity in the start-up community. Planned for Summer 2015, the event will feature a diverse group of entrepreneurs from across the country, whose stories show why we need ensure that there are opportunities for everyone in our innovation economy. In addition to highlighting success stories, the event will illustrate best practices from all sectors to ensure all entrepreneurs have a chance at success. The White House Demo Day builds on earlier initiatives to empower a diversity of entrepreneurs to launch and grow innovative companies. Inclusive entrepreneurship is vital to the country's start-up economy, and as U.S. Census data show, minority entrepreneurs are the fastest-growing entrepreneurial segment in the country. The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program encourages entrepreneurs that exemplify America's full entrepreneurial potential to participate in the Demo Day. Interested parties can be nominated through the following link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/demo-day To help foster inclusive entrepreneurship, the White House Demo Day seeks organizations that have an interest in: • Growing Local Innovation Economies • Training Startup-Ready Students • Expanding On-Ramps to Entrepreneurship • Connecting Diverse Talent to Capital • Local Open Gatherings Interested organizations can enter their information at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/demo-day
