Since 2012, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation has been fueling the entrepreneurial community through their movement called 1 Million Cups. A volunteer-run effort, 1 Million Cups exists within more than 180 communities across the nation. That’s a lot of coffee. More importantly, that’s a lot of ideas.
While my time with the national organizers was small, what I felt was big. The energy, authenticity and power of connection, all rooted in Mr. Kauffman’s belief that it’s a fundamental right for anyone with a big idea to be able to bring it to life.
With or without coffee, and with or without a pitch or stage or presentation, you gave me the gift of connection through creation. One million cheers to that.
