Our focus for 2025 - The Atlantic Region 📣 As Founder Forward nears a decade of impact, we are applying the lessons learned from working closely with founders to transforming the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem. The entrepreneurial landscape in the U.S. is still deeply concentrated, creating access gaps in places like Philadelphia, The Bronx, and Newark. To combat this, Founder Forward is focusing our efforts on these cities in 2025. Our strategic plan is to build an interconnected, multi-city, network to support competitive regional economies and we are starting with the Atlantic Region. 💫 We are building a community-centered future one region at a time. Give today to support the future we are building, together. 💫 https://lnkd.in/gaSfG_yP
