Raising money vs. Helping founders—too many #startupecosystems are trapped in the wrong cycle. Grants are great when they come through, but they’re rarely a sustainable solution. The only way to break the cycle is to put #foundersfirst. That can feel impossible with so many demands pulling you in different directions—but it requires the right tools and frameworks to keep your resources focused where they matter most.

America is in a pitched battle for its soul. At the heart of this fight is our collective loss—and our relentless pursuit—of #EconomicFreedom. We reclaim that freedom by returning to our roots: investing in founders who dare to bet on themselves, who refuse to accept their role as mere cogs in a machine designed to enrich the few by oppressing the many. The nation we aspire to is built by those who take ownership of their future, not those waiting for permission. Join us on April 2 for the online release screening of The Soul of Economic Freedom. After the film, we’ll come together to discuss how we take back what was lost and restore that freedom in our communities.
