Graduating from Columbia Law School, Andrew Yang was conflicted with what to do for his career. As with many other young professionals, Yang knew the options outside of working on Wall Street were slim and likely career-diverting. After working with, and starting several companies (rising to the rank of CEO in Manhattan GMAT), Yang founded Venture for America, to increase the accessibility to the start-up process for college graduates.
The problem today is that ''qualified college graduates crave hands-on business experience '' to learn how to start a business. Meanwhile, ''start-up companies struggle to hire due to lack of resources '' since they have yet to establish their brand. '''Venture for America bridges this gap; the organization gives companies access to high quality, motivated young workers.'''
Overall, the goal is to funnel top young people into American startups, socialize them and provide future structures and role models for others. Venture fo America wishes to rebrand entrepreneurship as the most prestigious professional aspiration, as evident in one of their mottos: "Smart people should build things."
