and the fourth key area that coffman outlines is support. the ability for all to take risks while having the proper support after becoming an entrepreneur and leaving behind that stability of a traditional job and that paycheck every two weeks and the benefits that come with it. that's why i emphasize those four areas are so key. the university of arkansas at fayetteville recently established their startup village to address a few of these issues by providing students and the community entrepreneurs with the resources and support needed early in the process to help them launch their own business and pursue happiness. i know how important it is to have a wide range of funding options that i talked about and in central arkansas i'm proud to note that private equity has created over 1,600 jobs and invested more than $2 billion just in the last five years. demonstrating that steve case is right that all communities can share in this prosperity if they have that right ecosystem. specifically to push some of these ideals, i've supported different
