Rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit of the Kauffman Foundation, both 1 Million Cups and the 1MCOS aim to ignite organizers with a passion for the program, ensuring that they leave feeling invigorated and equipped to lead the 1MC program in their local communities.
More inclusive startup communities are needed, and 1MC believes that cultivating those that empower all types of entrepreneurs is the best way to grow sustainable economies. Entrepreneurship can flourish in local communities when people and resources are well-connected. 1 Million Cups and the Organizer Summit provides the opportunity to strengthen these.
