<\/p>\n\tAll of us at SBA know that America\u2019s future prosperity depends on the next generation of entrepreneurs. That\u2019s why I\u2019m committed to making sure our young people<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
have the resources to start a businesses, and teaching them that entrepreneurship can be an option early in their careers. I\u2019m excited to be heading up a new effort at the SBA to reach young entrepreneurs and make our resources work for their needs. <\/p>\n
\tTo kick-off our young entrepreneurs initiative, I want to hear from you. On Tuesday from 6:30-8:30 p.m., I\u2019ll be joining Kalpen Modi of the White House Office of Public Engagement for YES: Young Entrepreneurship Summit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\tWe\u2019re sitting down with a group of young entrepreneurs and business leaders to discuss what tools young people need to start and grow businesses, and how SBA can help. The town hall style event will give us a chance to interact with some of the brightest and most promising of America\u2019s young people. We want to learn how SBA can improve our outreach and better serve young entrepreneurs\u2014we have a lot tools in our toolbox, but we know we can do more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\tI hope you\u2019ll get involved. The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m. this Tuesday, will be livestreamed at www.whitehouse.gov\/live<\/a>. You can also follow along on twitter with #YESnyc, and submit your own questions to @SBAgov.<\/p>\n
