By capitalizing on their diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences, immigrants continue to play an essential role in building many of the most successful and impactful startups, foundations and job-creating enterprises that form a vital component of the US economy.

The firstG event is being developed in partnership with technology leaders, venture capitalists, experienced corporate executives and leading media influencers and will showcase and celebrate the positive impact these individuals and their organizations have on society.

Through the sharing of powerful stories, mentorship opportunities and practical insights, attendees to firstG will inspire future generations of New Americans to chase their dreams and make a difference in the new American economy.

In a joint statement, Momentum’s Founders/Co-CEOs Ben Greenzweig and Matt Godson noted, “firstG will feature a network of peers, industry leaders, investors, executives and storytellers who will convene for this unique summit designed to inspire, support and celebrate the new generation of American entrepreneur.”

“President-Elect Trump told an audience of technology executives this week that he is committed to helping drive the ‘incredible innovation’ taking place inside our country and firstG will provide a tremendous opportunity for current and future first-generation American entrepreneurs to learn how they can potentially build America’s next great company of tomorrow,” Greenzweig added.

“As a first-generation American entrepreneur myself, I am personally vested in the story ‘firstG’ will tell and look forward to sharing several exciting announcements about the event in the months ahead,” concluded Godson.
