Empowering Alaska's entrepreneurs and connecting innovators in our community

About us

Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. 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. Mr. Kauffman believed it was a fundamental right for anyone who had a big idea to be able to bring it to life—and we're here to fulfill that mission. 1 Million Cups Anchorage meets on Wednesday mornings at 9:00am on Zoom and streams on Facebook Live. Our goal is to connect our entrepreneurs and innovators to the wealth of knowledge, experience, and support our startup ecosystem has to offer.
