21 December 2011 – This week, SBA Deputy Administrator Marie Johns held a roundtable in New York City with Sergio Fernández de Córdova, Founder of Fuel Outdoor and member of the SBA’s Council on Underserved Communities (CUC). The conversation with entrepreneurs and small business owners focused on President Obama’s American Jobs Act, and how the SBA can improve the flow of capital to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

While many topics were discussed, two main issues were how to increase awareness of the SBA, and how to make it easier for entrepreneurs to navigate SBA programs.  To address this, SBA held a competition for the best mobile apps that help entrepreneurs access the tools they need.  The winning app, "SBA Gems," can be downloaded at entrepreneurs.challenge.gov/submissions/5458.  At the same time, the roundtable participants discussed the SBA’s long term vision, new initiatives, and the importance of social media as part of the SBA’s outreach.
