DMV CEO Resource: 1 Million Cups - Fairfax

DMV CEO Resource: 1 Million Cups - Fairfax

About 1 Million Cups: Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. Through the power of volunteers, 1 Million Cups has grown to more than 180 communities.

As a program of the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups works with entrepreneurs, empowering them with the tools and resources to break down barriers that stand in the way of starting and growing their businesses. Mr. Kauffman believed it was a fundamental right for anyone who had a big idea to be able to bring it to life—and we're here to fulfill that mission.

Behind the Scenes Podcast Interview with David Simon SVP, Global Head

 This year's DC Hackathon is the second annual and its goal was to tap into the minds of developers, creatives and business owners to create solutions for small businesses that may have been impacted by major disasters. For National Small Business Week, the US Small Business Administration (SBA), FEMA and VISA teamed up to create solutions for small businesses impacted by the devastating natural disasters. The three-day hackathon gave participants access to API's from FEMA, The Visa Developer Platform and business continuity planners to help them brainstorm and "hack" to create solutions that could allow small businesses to survive and thrive in the wake of a major disaster. Over 20 teams participated and while there were teams that won over $10,000, the real winners small businesses, employees and these economies that were affected by disasters.
