The NYSE Big StartUp rings the NYSE Closing Bell

The NYSE Big StartUpSM, a nationwide jobs-growth initiative designed to connect young companies and entrepreneurs with corporate America, was launched today by NYSE Euronext (NYX) in collaboration with Accion, Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and The Startup America Partnership. The program calls on the nation's corporate community to lend support, experience and resources to startups and small companies to improve procurement, networking, business development, training, and information sharing. In honor of the occasion, executives and leaders from the collaborative business-to-business partnership rings The Closing BellSM. Yelp (NYSE: YELP) and LinkedIn (NYSE-LNKD) are among the first NYSE- listed companies to participate in this endeavor. In addition to information and events to be provided as part of the initiative, a microfinance program called the Accion NYSE Job Growth Fund, started with a $1.5 million commitment by NYSE Euronext, will provide small businesses and startups with the capital and support they need to grow. The NYSE Big StartUp is unique in its comprehensive approach to promoting job growth through small businesses, start ups and entrepreneurs. The program helps to promote the increased demand for goods and services that these growing companies need, while also mobilizing the corporate sector to contribute knowledge, expertise and funding where it can be critical to job creation.
