Overview

Mission

To educate and advise entrepreneurs and to facilitate exchange between entrepreneurial members and groups.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the year ended june 30, 2025, the organization hosted nearly two dozen learning events for entrepreneurs, provided training and leadership development to new members, moderators, and mentored accelerator and ignitor participants. All events were conducted virtually and in person including meetings and seminars.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
