Conversations on ecosystem building and entrepreneur-led economic development.
Is the American entrepreneurship economy becoming k-shaped? The current business incorporation boom does include many thriving companies, but also many ”solopreneurs” who are earning less than their traditionally-employed peers. When we say entrepreneurship is booming, are we conflating two very different stories? Are we celebrating necessity entrepreneurship — people fleeing a broken labor market — as if it were opportunity entrepreneurship?
Builders Live co-hosts Victor Hwang of Right to Start, venture investor Rae'Mah Henderson, Taylor Eubanks of Midwest House and Technical.ly cofounder and CEO Christopher Wink discuss how we can address the needs of these two groups to support economic development for all.
Recorded April 22, 2026.
