America the Entrepreneurial

What America the Entrepreneurial does

America the Entrepreneurial is a national nonpartisan advocacy campaign launched in 2025 as an initiative of Right to Start, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, timed to coincide with the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. It recruits and activates four constituencies — Individuals ("Founders"), Partner Organizations (nonprofits, businesses, universities, chambers, civic institutions), Government Leaders (governors, mayors, legislators, and local officials), and Founding Communities (cities, counties, and states) — around a free, public commitment to reduce barriers to entrepreneurship and celebrate America's "startup spirit." The campaign's product surface is built around three tiered Playbooks (Individual, Organization, Government Leader), a Declaration of the Founders pledge, a nationwide Storytelling Contest, and a Founding Communities brand-licensing program that allows jurisdictions to rebrand as "[City/County/State] the Entrepreneurial" through December 31, 2026.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally minimal and non-proprietary: a Webflow-hosted website (americatheentrepreneurial.org), Change.org for national-letter signature collection, Quorum (righttostart.quorum.us/campaign/146088/) for Founder signup and email capture, and seven owned social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, Bluesky) for grassroots distribution. Distribution is partner-driven through 10+ downloadable toolkits (Op-Ed Toolkit, Founding Community Toolkit, Event-in-a-Box Toolkit, Storytelling Contest Toolkit, Declaration Toolkit, Partner Promotion Toolkit) that enable chambers, universities, and civic organizations to host events, publish opinion pieces, and rebrand under license.

America the Entrepreneurial does not sell products or services and does not generate commercial revenue. The License Agreement governing use of the trademark explicitly prohibits licensees from generating commercial revenues, sales, or fundraising from use of the brand; only de minimis event-gathering expenses are permitted. All participation — for individuals, partners, and government leaders — is free. Operating funding flows through the parent nonprofit Right to Start (a 501(c)(3) governed under Missouri law, with arbitration in Kansas City), and the campaign is steered by Co-Chairs John Bridgeland (Former White House Domestic Policy Director; CEO of More Perfect) and Victor Hwang (CEO and Founder of Right to Start), with Kim Lane serving as Executive Director.

Core offering

America the Entrepreneurial is a national, nonpartisan advocacy campaign operated as an initiative of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Right to Start. It rallies individuals, partner organizations, and government leaders as "Founders" to renew America's entrepreneurial spirit ahead of the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. The campaign distributes free Playbooks and toolkits, accepts Founding Partners, designates Founding Government Leaders and Founding Communities, and tracks collective action through a Quorum-backed signup portal and a Change.org national letter.

Product overview

America the Entrepreneurial is a single unified national advocacy campaign (rather than a multi-product software platform) operated by Right to Start, organized around a portfolio of interlinked programs: the umbrella "America the Entrepreneurial" campaign and "Become a Founder" pledge, three tiered Playbooks (the Individual Playbook, the Organization/Partner Playbook, and the Government Leader Playbook), membership programs (Founding Partners, Founding Government Leaders, and Founding Communities), and engagement programs (the Declaration of the Founders and the America the Entrepreneurial Storytelling Contest). The playbooks feed actions into a national, tracked base of "Founders," while the Founding Partners, Founding Government Leaders, and Founding Communities programs translate that grassroots base into organizational and civic commitments — including licensed use of the "[City/County/State] the Entrepreneurial" sub-brand for participating jurisdictions.
