About 1 Million Cups

(1MC) was created by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in 2012 and is a free, national program that first and foremost educates, but also engages and connects local entrepreneurs. Through the power of volunteers, 1 Million Cups has grown to more than 160 communities.

As a program of the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups works with entrepreneurs, empowering them with the tools and resources to break down barriers that stand in the way of starting and growing their businesses.
