Impact
Measuring entrepreneurship that changes lives.
We measure progress through income growth, sustainable businesses, and the stability created in local communities.
Founding stage organization
We are preparing to launch our first cohort in Fall 2025. Our impact reporting will begin with baseline community data, and grow as alumni businesses scale.
How we measure
The outcomes that matter most.
We focus on metrics that show real economic mobility, not just startup vanity metrics.
Primary metrics
- Businesses launched and still operating year over year.
- Revenue generated by cohort companies.
- Jobs created and retained locally.
- Income increase for founder households.
Secondary metrics
- Business survival rate after 12, 24, and 60 months.
- Community impact indicators and local reinvestment.
- Mentor engagement and founder satisfaction.
- Capital unlocked for founders beyond the program.
Commitment to transparency
We will publish clear data, honest stories, and financial reporting that donors and founders can trust.
Annual impact reports
Outcomes, financials, and lessons learned every year.
Financial transparency
Form 990s and grant allocations shared publicly.
Founder stories

The long-term vision
One million startups is not just a number. It is one million families with new options, one million neighborhoods with new jobs, and a national blueprint for inclusive prosperity.
