With a bus and a checkbook, Steve Case tries to remap American entrepreneurship

Case has spent much of the past year mounting a grass-roots campaign to highlight and accelerate the growth of start-up communities in pockets of the country not generally known — at least, not anymore — for producing tomorrow’s next big company. Dubbed the Rise of the Rest tour, Case and a small team have zigzagged across Middle America, holding business pitch competitions in nine cities and leaving behind more than $1 million in funding.

"There are interesting things happening in these cities," he said, "and by visiting, we just wanted to throw a little kerosene on the fire and take things to the next level."
