There’s Such a Thing as Overkill…
… but what a way to go!! Since I am from Kansas City, Mo., home of the Kauffman Foundation, it’s difficult for me to assess its nationwide (or worldwide!) influence from the hometown. Yes. It’s a Local Big Deal. Here is where the intensely serious entrepreneur winds up, fighting not to get bogged down in thousands of pages of research, analysis, advice and case studies… classes, education, training… on every single aspect of starting a business… aspects you’ve not thought of yet!
For example, periodically, the Foundation partners with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) to produce a comprehensive report that ranks all 50 U.S. states on the “…degree to which their economies are structured and operate to effectively compete…” This report is packed with useful information about where you are – or where you should be! Check it out!
The Kauffman entrepreneurial site is too huge, and yet, if you are intense, this is your portal. Start with their 182 entreprenur sites. Good luck… drop breadcrumbs so you know where you’ve been and how to get back home!
