National Entrepreneurship Week History
National Entrepreneurship Week is a non-partisan, congressionally chartered initiative founded in 2006 that takes place the third week of February annually. Serial entrepreneur Joe Kapp had a vision of relaunching National Entrepreneurship Week as NatlEshipWeek in 2017. The week, designated by an act of Congress in 2006 with support from the Kauffman Foundation and EntreEd, had long become dormant.
Kapp shared his vision with entrepreneurship educator Amber Ravenscroft who quickly joined the effort to help grow manage, and co-chair the annual week-long event. Hence, the annual initiative was relaunched in 2017 as NatlEshipWeek to bring together a network of partners from Maui to Miami to educate, engage, and build equitable access to America's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem.
