Mission
We build an infrastructure that incentivizes entrepreneurship, expands investment, broadens ownership, and drives innovation and economic opportunity.
This is powered by the private capital infrastructure. And policy is part of infrastructure: It can drive innovation or bind its growth. Policy permeates nearly every aspect of the innovation ecosystem. Our aim is to shape the policy infrastructure to bolster the power of private capital and broaden it—to more investors, more employees, more companies, more communities.
We build the policy infrastructure for innovators. And we represent those innovators.
