Venture for America’s founder Andrew Yang, and board member/inspiration Charlie Kroll of Andera are featured on Forbes.com today!  Entitled “An Entrepreneur’s Big Idea to Boost Struggling Cities,” it’s a tale of how Andrew and Charlie’s search for fulfilling and exciting careers led them to entreprenurship and to getting involved with VFA.  The article includes nods to some of our wonderful 2012 Fellows (check out their bios to see if you can guess who:).  There are a couple little mistakes – the city of Detroit is not, in fact, paying for Fellow housing, and our Fellows are going to be doing a lot more than just making phone calls and getting office supplies – they’re going to be building products and businesses!  Follow this link to read this great piece written by Forbes entrepreneurship reporter Helen Coster.
