Earlier this month, the Appalachian based company, BitSource, joined Kentucky to the world as part of a video series to highlight economic development in eastern Kentucky. Friday we spoke with BitSource founder Rusty Justice about Accelerate Kentucky, a new initiative to create jobs in our region. Well our purpose is to educate, it's actually the, it was the initial event where we're announcing the formation of this new group. Accelerate Kentucky is a statewide organization focused on improving the stakeholder model of innovation and entrepreneurship. So the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Kentucky is really not very friendly for business growth, small business growth, or this formation of new businesses. While working on a stakeholder model, Justice says the goal is to make regions more accessible to entrepreneurs and job creation. And so we've completed that program and as a result we've launched Accelerate Kentucky. And so it's people from all across the state, from all the five stakeholder models, stakeholder groups and each one of us are working to promote the conditions necessary for the growth of business in Kentucky. Really a good way to explain it is kind of an obscure thing, but the way to think of it is businesses as being seeds or plants that are already in the garden. We're focused on improving the soil that these things grow in as we talk about business. Justice continues to say that the program focuses on different areas of expertise, helping others accomplish their business goals. We communicate, we inspire and we inform. So that's really what we do. We get people together to talk about it. We encourage the ones trying to do it and then we inform those trying to help them in ways they can be more helpful.
