This summer, we're holding the first-ever White House Demo Day, bringing together entrepreneurs from all walks of life, from all across the country.
Unlike a private-sector Demo Day, where entrepreneurs show off for funders, ours will demo individual success stories, highlighting the individual journeys of a diverse set of entrepreneurs -- people whose stories show exactly why we need to "grow the pie" to make sure there's opportunity for everyone in our innovation economy.

Many Americans -- whether they agree with the President's policies or not -- expressed outrage, disbelief, and disappointment at the Senators' actions.
On Tuesday, President Obama proposed a new Student Aid Bill of Rights, outlining new steps to make paying for higher education an easier and fairer experience for millions of Americans.
During their visit to Selma last weekend, the President and First Lady sat down to talk about the significance of the occasion. Watch their candid reflections here.
