"At its most fundamental level, entrepreneurship is about the successful development and commercialization of novel ideas. This process is impossible without the highly creative and highly educated individuals who will be tomorrow's high-impact entrepreneurs."
                                                                    -The Kauffmann Foundation

 Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy. Wealth and a high majority of jobs are created by small businesses started by entrepreneurially minded individuals, many of whom go on to create big businesses.

 A Kauffman Foundation survey reports nearly 7 out of 10 teens say they want to be self-employed in the future. Stories about young people who are starting their own businesses abound in the media. We are here to help New Mexico youths dream big, implement their innovations and achieve their own version of success.
