The prevailing belief in entrepreneurship is that the value of an entrepreneur is the value of their business, not the entrepreneur themselves. This creates a system where an enormous amount of early-stage entrepreneurs who don’t come from privilege are ignored. Instead, Sky’s the Limit envisions a world where every entrepreneur has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our mission is to build a global community where all entrepreneurs and their allies can build meaningful relationships and grow together. Skysthelimit.org (STL) is a digital platform that connects aspiring, underrepresented entrepreneurs with mentors, access to capital, and our proven process for building a business. Our work is to empower underserved communities nationwide by providing them with the right support, from the right people, at the right time in their journey. With over 100,000 registered entrepreneurs and volunteers, we're growing rapidly in all 50 states and the UK. Through our digital platform, we provide young entrepreneurs with one-on-one support, our young adult-adapted entrepreneurship training resources, and our startup grants funding. We partner with philanthropists and companies big and small to create impact together, engaging their employees in supporting our entrepreneurs. Our long term partners include Accenture, PNC Bank, Bank of America, and Simply Business. Many thousands of their employees volunteer in groups and 1:1 to help entrepreneurs tackle business problems, from marketing and sales to product design and legal. Over 11 million young adults in the United States say they want to start their own business, but lack the resources they need to do so. We’re building the on-ramp to entrepreneurship so that anyone with an idea, perseverance and a willingness to learn can get the support they need to build their business. Skysthelimit.org (formerly known as Youth Business USA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit operating across the United States and United Kingdom.
