Background
New Mexico statistics regularly come in near the bottom. Business is a powerful driver for economic betterment. With the small population we have, each and every growing local business makes a quantifiable difference to our people and economy.
State statute allows for our State Investment Council (NM SIC) to invest up to 11% of its holdings into economic development. Today, that would be more than $7 billion. Most investors and economic professionals would agree there is no way for the current business eco-system to absorb that level of investment.
What would be needed to put us on a trajectory for that?
Meeting PURPOSE is to connect and organize ecosystem players to make investing into NM startup and growth companies easier, faster and larger.
The GOAL is to leverage resources to inject an additional $100+ million into the NM startup / growth ecosystem this decade - beyond what is currently available.
Meet our facilitator, Andrew Cohen: Andrew is a counselor and consultant for leaders and teams, now based in Northern New Mexico. He has been helping improve clarity, resolution and alignment as a group facilitator and executive coach for over 25 years.
