A note from our editor, Elizabeth MacBride:

We had a thrilling launch day for The New Builders, the book I wrote with venture capitalist Seth Levine over the past two years. Those who have been following our work at Times of Entrepreneurship know the book is an extension of much of what we have been have been writing here, looking at the economy from the perspective of the many, rather than the few. 


The New Builders tells the stories of and explains the importance of the broad swathe of entrepreneurs in America. Thanks to so many people who believe in the mission, we briefly overwhelmed the Amazon order system and reached #1 in Economics releases. And, we hope, drove sales at many independent bookstores, too. Many people want small businesses back, thriving and healthy. Many people see that women and people of color are the future of the economy. 

The New Builders looks at the barriers that hold us all back, squarely. We want to change the toxic attitude toward small business, which exists in part because the entrepreneurs of today are mainly women and people of color. The New Builders has been called easy-to-read, and handbook for understanding today’s economy. Last week, Sarah Catlin of Missouri’s KOPN said, “This is my family’s story.”

See below in this newsletter for an excerpt and upcoming events.
 Thanks especially to Brad Feld and Fred Wilson, who blogged about The New Builders on launch day, and to many others who amplified the message.

Pick up your copy today! Amazon restocked rapidly and the Kindle is available too. You can see some of the independent shops where The New Builders is available on our web site, www.thenewbuilders.com. Our fantastic Times of E social media maven, Winnie Hurd, designed the post above for us to celebrate our launch on Star Wars Day.

Social enterprises have been the trendsetters in tapping women as consumers around the world. Surprisingly, they’ve been ignored in many markets.

Best practices: Only a tiny percentage of venture capital goes to founders of color.

Securities filings indicate the firm, staffed mainly by people of color, is raising up to $250 million.
