Envolve Entrepreneurship aims to embolden early-stage startups by helping them start and thrive. As an organization its support rests on three pillars of education, resources, and awards. In 2018, Envolve Entrepreneurship expanded its USA startup competition – Envolve Award USA – which provides winners with working capital and support services. The competition in 2018 was open to diverse early-stage entrepreneurs in eight cities: New York, NY, Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC, Miami, FL, and Detroit and Flint, MI. In New York, the award program was originally established in the Bronx, formerly as the American Entrepreneurship Award. Since 2016, Envolve has had 8 winners exclusively from the Bronx: "Minority and women business enterprises in The Bronx are creating jobs, economic opportunities, and hope for Bronxites. From Ginjan Bros to Sustainable Snacks, our continued partnership with Envolve and Concordia is showing that we believe in our Bronx entrepreneurs by providing them access to capital, technical assistance, counseling and best practices to take their dreams to the next level. The Day of Engagement provides a transformational opportunity by bringing global leaders to our hometown to show the promise of The Bronx when we support our entrepreneurs," said Assembly Member Michael Blake. After an enthusiastic response from local entrepreneurs city-wide, the organization decided to extend participation to all five boroughs.
