All Americans—regardless of race, gender, geography, or economic conditions—should have the opportunity to innovate and reap the rewards from innovation through entrepreneurship and commercialization. Whether running family restaurants or opening new factories, American entrepreneurs create businesses that are the heart and soul of our communities.

"Our entrepreneurs are models of drive, resilience, and determination — the very virtues that built America.  From small towns to big cities, these dreamers and doers are the glue that holds our communities together and the fuel that propels our Nation forward." President Biden

Christianna is just 18 years old and is already a business owner and author. Her story is the American story — one of resilience, determination, and hope. She joined Secretary Gina Raimondo, Kevin O'Leary, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec to close out National Entrepreneurship Month.

"Entrepreneurs — like Charlotte from Cue The Curves — are the lifeblood of the American economy. Their dreams and innovation move us forward. We brought together Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, and more to mark National Entrepreneurship Month and give advice to future generations." Secretary Gina M. Raimondo
