After six years in operation, with a budget that had grown over 30x, hundreds of incredible Fellows and Alumni, and a full-time team of over 30, the VFA team set out on a new strategic planning process to assess progress and formally chart a path forward. Vision 2020: Setting Our Sights on the Future resulted in a new mission statement, the identification of three key program pillars to achieve this mission, the creation of a strategy screen used to evaluate all new and existing initiatives, and much more.

Originally a lawyer, Yang began working in startups and early stage growth companies as a founder & executive during the 2000s. In 2011, he founded Venture for America, a nonprofit focused on creating jobs in cities struggling to recover from the Great Recession. He ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, becoming known for his “Freedom Dividend, a universal basic income (UBI) of $1,000 a month to every American adult as a response to job displacement by automation, going from a relative unknown to a major competitor in the race who participated in seven of the first eight Democratic debates. The son of immigrants from Taiwan, Yang was born and raised in New York State. He attended Brown University and Columbia Law School.

  • 2020 MASSCHALLENGE FEASIBILITY STUDY Abstract
    2020 MASSCHALLENGE FEASIBILITY STUDY Abstract Detroit’s entrepreneurial and investment community has seen significant expansion and success in the past six years. However, the city is not without obstacles. While the number of innovative, enthusiastic startups is continuing to grow, projections suggest that there will not be enough capital available in the coming years to adequately fund them. Additionally, despite the high percentage of people of color in Detroit, both racial minorities and women are consistently underrepresented within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Thus, more work needs to be done to connect high-potential new businesses in the region to a robust pipeline of capital. In this study, EntryPoint assesses the viability of hosting such an initiative, the MassChallenge accelerator program, in Detroit. Specifically, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of Detroit’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, including successes and opportunities for improvement, capital and resources currently available in the community, a detailed overview and analysis of the MassChallenge initiative, and evaluates the resources offered by MassChallenge in terms of the specific needs of the growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Detroit. Ultimately, this study finds that, while MassChallenge accelerators have demonstrated themselves to be helpful for startups, investors, and communities, the potential benefits of hosting such an initiative to the city in its current economic climate would not justify its significant expense. Instead, EntryPoint suggests that a program with a greater focus on providing capital and supporting regional companies would be of greater benefit. Table of Contents Part I: Detroit’s High-tech Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Part II: Analysis of Resources Available to Detroit Entrepreneurs Part III: Overview of the MassChallenge Initiative Part IV: Implications of Hosting “MassChallenge Detroit” Part I: Detroit’s High-tech Entrepreneurial Ecosystem 2019 was a pivotal year for the development of Detroit’s entrepreneurial and investment activity.
