Right to Start of Kansas City, Missouri, announced Wednesday that it has launched a program in northwest Arkansas to make job-creating entrepreneurship a community priority.
Right to Start was founded last year by Victor Hwang, who was previously vice president of the nonprofit Kauffman Foundation. He says Right to Start aims to “rebuild the American economy by fighting for entrepreneurial opportunity for all of us regardless of background, race, place, genders, disabilities or circumstances.”
The organization this week hired Kim Lane of Conway as its chief operating officer. Lane, who previously worked as CEO of entrepreneurial support organization The Conductor in Conway, was a regional representative for Kauffman’s 1 Million Cups program.
