In October 2012, the Young Entrepreneur Council released a statement about the start up of Gen STY Capital Partners, a collaboration with the White House in DC to create a new investment model for Generation Y entrepreneurs struggling to get their companies off the floor. Co-founded by Scott Gerber and 2tor CMO Jeremy D. Johnson, and in partnership with the YEC, Gen Y Capital Partners has committed to investing in many thousands of startups over the next decade. With a specific focus on early-stage investment, the program often invests alongside angel investors to provide a company’s first outside round of capital investment.
