Overview

The Return to Better Institute is an accomplished group of entrepreneurs, educators, and economic development professionals that have created a sustainable framework to help communities build and grow support for entrepreneurship and new business creation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. By connecting traditional, top-down economic development approaches with the grassroots, bottom-up, community-driven environments in which most entrepreneurs thrive, our goal is to help communities implement an end-to-end experience aimed at meeting ALL entrepreneurs, startups, and innovators at their point of need. Not only is our focus on high-growth startups, but also on lifestyle businesses and small businesses – all of which play critical roles in helping shape the future of our local and national economy.
