Mission: Start Krosslink Chapters @ 10,000 Public Libraries by 2025
Krosslink.org is a volunteer-driven community program, in collaboration with public libraries, created to help develop, nurture, and foster entrepreneurship by connecting aspiring entrepreneurs to local business leaders, mentors and civic leaders who can help them achieve their goals. The result is a vibrant eco-system where individuals looking to build a business can find resources and activities to kick start their plans such as networking events with other business leaders, a collaborative work space filled with keynote speakers, bar-stool pitch sessions, facilitated meet-up sessions and mentoring by SCORE business experts.

Most jobs are created by entrepreneurs running small businesses. Yet most entrepreneurs fail within 90 days. Starting a new venture is a very lonely experience. In order to succeed, aspiring entrepreneurs need a supportive community around them.
Local libraries already have necessary infrastructure to support a meeting place for prospective entrepreneurs and to connect them with the community and civic and business leaders. As libraries undergo transformation in the 21st century, why not use them to build “greenhouses” to turn seeds of ideas into saplings of business ventures?
