Hillary Clinton Discusses Plans to Help Entrepreneurs During Denver Visit

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton spoke at a Denver, Colorado tech company where she unveiled plans to assist future entrepreneurs and encourage start-ups. Speaking at Galvanize, Clinton told the crowd, “Starting out can be daunting. There’s a lot, a lot of risk, even if you have a good idea. … It can be a lot harder if you are juggling student loan payments. And that can cut into what you are able to do.” Clinton spoke about her plan to help those out of college start businesses and begin working on their ideas and innovations. Details of her plan can be read on The Briefing, but an outline of the plan is below:

• Defer federal student loans for up to three years with no interest
• Offer an option to apply to have up to $17,500 of their student loans forgiven
• Offer similar incentives to early joiners of a new enterprise
• Provide access to specialized training and access to credit to grow their business
• Invest in incubators and accelerators to help young people get their ventures off the ground
