Entrepreneurship is the most important skill for any individual or family looking to build generational wealth. It is an income accelerator, a freedom creation mechanism, and a pathway to business ownership.   

WHY ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

It is the Best preparation for  the innovation economy.  Black youth are not prepared to seize the opportunities of the 21st century. 

 How we view ourselves and the world around us impacts our ability to dream and achieve. In today’s innovation economy—with needs and opportunities evolving faster and more fluidly than ever before—our youth need a mindset that equips them to recognize opportunity, take initiative, and innovate in the face of challenges. 

Teaching entrepreneurship changes mindsets, changes lives, changes the world. We must equip young people with an innovator’s eye and a founder’s grit–the skills to excel in an innovation economy. And with economists predicting the jobs of tomorrow don’t even exist today, entrepreneurial skills are skills for life. 

Our toolkit contains curriculum on youth entrepreneurial development that is dynamic and customizable to participants needs. 

Our overall mission is to educate, inspire, empower, and close the economic opportunity divide, preparing urban youth to become contributing members of their families and communities.  

Our business packaging process acts for the minority Entrepreneur/Operator (E/O). The packager uses his knowledge of the business culture and economic system to evaluate an opportunity and provide access to the technical know-how and capital required to start a viable business. 

The Business Packager is the professional who knows how to make the minority business process work. When he succeeds, the economic system works for the minority E/O as well as for the traditional entrepreneur. The minority E/O must still take personal risks, but the packager follows a set of fairly standardized procedures to produce the desired end product—a viable economic entity. 

Most properly packaged businesses do not fail. 

No two individuals or businesses are the same. Although packaging procedures are standardized, the assistance a packager provides varies widely from business package to business package.
