Our focus is on scaling-up good ideas and supporting social enterprises run by low and moderate-income persons aged twenty-one to thirty-nine. The session aims to further an already existing process promoted by The Progress Group to support the next generation of Denver-Boulder area social entrepreneurs. These are people from underserved communities, who have the talent and vision, but lack the necessary resources to sustain and scale their ventures. The goal is to connect these innovative people and their good ideas to progressive business leaders and civic organizations with resources.
