The purpose of this Summit is to bring together CEOs, CSR officers, government, municipalities and foundation leaders, community organizers of co-working spaces, and young entrepreneurs to inspire innovative creative action to Startup America. The YES Summit is being organized to support and accelerate Startup America, a White House initiative to celebrate, inspire, and accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship throughout the nation. Startups are engines of job creation. Entrepreneurs intent on growing their businesses create the lion’s share of new jobs, in every part of the country and in every industry.
The focus of the summit is on creative new corporate and community led acceleration initiatives (‘Creative Action Centers’) as well as a scalable platform to create Conscious Entrepreneurs who are schooled in the principles and practices of Conscious Capitalism. As the vanguard research of the Conscious Capitalism Institute has shown, such businesses are among the most profitable and sustainable, can galvanize communities and have a strong positive impact on society.
