When I got to [the Kauffman Foundation], I realized... there was no comprehensive agenda on what entrepreneurship policy should look like in America... And the only institution in America I could think of that could do it was the Kauffman Foundation. That led to the development of America's New Business Plan, which became the first-ever national policy agenda for entrepreneurship in America that covered local, state, and federal. That was comprehensive in the sense that it covered all the domains of policy life that affected entrepreneurs, whether it was red tape, or taxation, or education, or workforce, or economic development, or government contracting – you name it.
