Seth Levine and Elizabeth MacBride – Authors of “New Builders”
It is also in our economic interest to ensure that unsung
entrepreneurs get access to the funds and networks that
they need in order to nurture and grow their businesses.
Seth Levine and Elizabeth MacBride call the “New Builders.” In their forthcoming book, The New Builders: Face to Face With the True Future of Business, Levine—partner and co-founder at the venture capital firm Foundry Group—and MacBride, an award-winning business journalist, argue that this next generation of entrepreneurs are not getting the support they need, because our business culture has become so consumed with celebrating size above all else. The book explores the indelible value of small business in America and the future of sustainable business, advocating for a new national movement to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, including new forms of finance and mentorship.
“Levine and McBride tell the stories of the unsung entrepreneurs of yesterday and today. In so doing, they make a compelling case that it is not only the right thing to do, but it is also in our economic interest to ensure that these entrepreneurs get access to the funds and networks that they need in order to nurture and grow their businesses.” – Katharine Weymouth, Former CEO and Publisher, The Washington Post.
