We welcome Linc Kroeger to That Entrepreneur Show- The podcast where founders of companies and brands share their entrepreneurial journeys, lessons learned, tips for success, and more each Friday since 2019.

Key Focus: Empowering Native American, rural, and urban underserved communities to break through barriers that block socio-economic inclusion

Is there a problem in your community that needs solving? Head to the Problem Solver Link on Kroeger's website here.

Linc Kroeger is the President of Knight Moves, a limiting profit company creating
the next generation of elite technology professionals through extensive training
in technology disciplines, with an intentional focus on including Native American,
rural, and urban underserved communities. 

• Why operate as limiting profit company vs. nonprofit?
• Sustainably self-funds its social benefiting mission
• Enables innovative and effective approaches IRS nonprofit regulations prevent as a nonprofit
• Escapes the federal grant and foundation nonprofit funding system that stifles social innovation

Linc’s passion for fighting social inequality led him to leverage his 35 years
enterprise technology experience to create a creative solution to help level the
playing field.

He served on the Technology Association of Iowa board for three years. He was
assigned by Governor Kim Reynolds to her Empower Rural Iowa Task Force and has
been identified as “the most innovative leader on bringing tech jobs to rural in the
nation” by U.S. Congressmember Ro Khanna representing Silicon Valley. He has
also been recognized as “Top National Rural Influencer” by The Ruralist and was the
USDA Rural Prosperity Tour keynote speaker.

He relates to all entrepreneurs when he touches on:
-Failing forward
-Why training is everything
-Why being community centric is important
