Infrastructure Bill Passes; California Rebuilding Fund Train the Trainer

Infrastructure Bill

Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness.


California will receive more than $25 billion to repair roads and highways and over $600 million to prepare transportation systems for extreme weather, drought and wildfire. Read more in Governor Newsom’s statement.


We’re especially excited about the $100 million going to broadband that will help rural and low-income areas strengthen their online presence. Infrastructure is crucial on connecting small businesses to markets (one of the 5 C’s of a local entrepreneurial ecosystem).

Honoring our Veterans

Almost half of World War II veterans became self-employed; 40% of Korean War veterans did so; and only 4.5% of post-9/11 veterans did. The reasons for the drop included lack of mentorship (coaching), finances (capital), social capital (connections to networks)


Read about how the veterans in the CAMEO network took advantage of a strong local entrepreneurial ecosystem to succeed.
