Spurred largely by the widespread sense that the American Dream has lost some of its luster, Victor and Right to Start are launching a campaign to turn our semiquincentennial into a celebration of America’s entrepreneurial roots and a push to remove the barriers that make it harder than it should be to start and build a business.
