Our Principles

1. Everyone has a fundamental Right to Start.  (We are born to be starters, makers, doers, dreamers.)

2. We must protect and nourish starters.  (Society should provide equal access to resources for all of us to start and grow.)

3. To level the playing field, tilt it.  (Americans don’t seek favors, but we demand an equal shot.)

4. Renewal comes bottom-up.  (Communities can be transformed by lifting people.)

5. Grow ecosystems to grow economies.  (Prosperity comes by breaking barriers, fostering trust, bridging differences.)

6. All of us matter.  (Every big idea starts small and vulnerable, and needs help to grow.)
