NVCA Today

With the goal to inspire innovation, imagination and creativity, Global Entrepreneurship Week brought together hundreds of associations to encourage youth entrepreneurship.

During the week of November 17-21, NVCA blanketed Capitol Hill with information about venture capital and entrepreneurship. As part of this effort, every member of Congress received a customized packet which included: 1) data on the contribution of venture capital to their home state; 2) NVCA's public policy positions on taxes, clean technology and life sciences; and 3) a USB drive containing the NVCA video VentuReality.

Thousands of activities were planned in more than 75 countries around the world. NVCA was proud to do its part, advocating for policies that are favorable to innovation and entrepreneurship in the United States.

State information packets are available to members. Please contact Emily Mendell ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) with your request.
