The Road to the American Dream: Entrepreneurship and Innovation | Global Conference 2025
Rachel Goslins, Bing Chen, David Cohen, Shamina Singh, Anastasia Soare
At the Milken Center panel "The Road to the American Dream," entrepreneurs Bing Gordon, David Sze, Shamina, and Anastasia examined the fractured consensus on economic mobility while contrasting US entrepreneurial strengths with global barriers like credit access and the "missing middle." The speakers outlined strategies for inclusive growth, including Gold House's 50% capital allocation to women-led firms and Techstars' geographic decentralization, while debunking myths about Silicon Valley dominance and technical founding requirements. Despite facing headwinds such as high tariffs and rising costs, the panelists concluded that economic contractions currently offer unique opportunities for new entrants to leverage abundant talent and address unmet market needs.
