CAE pursues its mission through three core functions:

**Research:** CAE publishes original, data-driven research on the full range of trends, issues, and challenges facing American entrepreneurship.

**Policy & Advocacy:** CAE works directly with Members of Congress, Congressional committees, Administration officials, and regulatory agency personnel to advance pro-entrepreneurship policy. CAE produces white papers, op-eds, and other materials to educate policymakers and the media.

**Convening:** CAE organizes roundtables, conferences, symposia, and events that bring together entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, academics, media, and policymakers to share experiences, resources, and best practices.
