Tomorrow, the United States will celebrate National Entrepreneurs’ Day, which began in 2010 when the Obama administration first proclaimed November as National Entrepreneur Month. Paired a few months later with the 2011 launch of the Startup America initiative, National Entrepreneur Day recognizes, for the first time, the American entrepreneurial spirit as a part of public discourse. In his 2013 proclamation, Obama notes, “Our Nation is strongest when we broaden entrepreneurial opportunity, when more of us can test our ideas in the global marketplace, and when the best innovations can rise to the top;” continuing that the role of universities is to “cultivate hubs of innovation” so that these opportunities, ideas, and innovations might flourish
