About
AMERICA INNOVATES will accelerate innovation districts in America with a focus on entrepreneurship amongst students, minorities and women. We are disrupting the $6 billion a year EB-5 investor visa program by steering our access to foreign capital into innovation and high value job creation in America. The first innovation district is Los Angeles: Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Downtown LA and Pasadena. “A new complementary urban model is now emerging, giving rise to what we and others are calling “innovation districts.” These districts, by our definition, are geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators and accelerators. They are also physically compact, transit-accessible, and technically-wired and offer mixed-use housing, office, and retail.” -Brookings Institution, The Rise Of Innovation Districts
