=== Venture for America (VFA) ===
Following the acquisition of Manhattan Prep, Yang began to conceive his new company, [[Venture for America]], a nonprofit he founded in 2011<ref name=":1" /> with the mission "to create economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs."<ref>[https://ventureforamerica.org/about-us/our-mission-approach/|title=Our Mission & Approach - Venture for America]</ref>

The company's strategy was to recruit the nation's top college graduates into a two-year fellowship program in which they would work for and apprentice at promising startups in developing cities across the United States. Yang's book ''Smart People Should Build Things'' argues that the top universities in the country cherry-pick the smartest kids out of small towns and funnel them into the same corporate jobs in the same big cities.<ref>[https://tech.co/book-5-minutes-smart-people-build-things-2014-09 A Book in 5 Minutes: Smart People Should Build Things]</ref> Venture for America's goal is to help distribute that talent around the country and incentivize entrepreneurship for economic growth. ''Generation Startup'', a documentary about Venture for America co-directed by Academy Award winner Cynthia Wade and Cheryl Miller Houser, was released in 2016.<ref>[http://www.generationstartupthefilm.com/ GENERATION STARTUP]</ref>

In the summer of 2017, Andrew Yang stepped down as CEO of the company.
