THERE IS AN ALARMING DECADE-LONG DECLINE OF NEW BUSINESS STARTUPS FACING THE UNITED STATES TODAY.
BOOM exposes the reasons behind this downward spiral and outlines strategies to solve the problem.
For decades, the United States has been experiencing a shocking decline in the number of new business startups…and it has got worse since the Great Recession. While new business formation in Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston is booming, entrepreneurship in most of the country—particularly rural regions—is declining. Things are even worse for women and people of color. This is of paramount importance to the United States because startups account for all new net job growth, champion innovation and strengthen our middle class.

After careful analysis defining the current environment for startups, Hall optimistically concludes with specific strategies for go-getters to successfully bridge the opportunity gap.
