Right to Start’s National Footprint Grows to 34 States
Right to Start is leading a nationwide movement to make entrepreneurship easier for everyone. Over the past year, Right to Start’s footprint has expanded significantly, now with more than 70 people spanning 34 states total (including Washington D.C.) as we continue to advocate for greater entrepreneurial opportunity in every community across the nation.
In 2024, our volunteer Ambassador network nearly doubled, extending the reach of our mission. Our team—including staff, part-time Advocates, consultants, and Board members—grew by 35%, strengthening our impact in more communities. In addition, over 400 organizations and businesses joined us in signing our Statement of Principles, emphasizing entrepreneurship as a critical priority for our nation.
We also launched our first two state Coalitions in Arkansas and Indiana, which has deepened our ability to reach crucial voices, engage civic leaders, and advocate for needed changes to the system that will drive more opportunities for everyone with an entrepreneurial dream.
