Will you answer a few more questions? Each one is part of what we’re actually building, and we want to know you’re with us.

Question #1 – The garage story only works if kids still see builders as heroes.

Somewhere between Benjamin Franklin’s bifocals and Elon Musk launching a rocket, America built almost everything good in modern life on the back of people willing to risk it all on an idea. But ask a room full of teenagers today whether an entrepreneur is someone to admire or someone to distrust, and you won’t get the answer you’d hope for.

Do you think we should be celebrating builders and entrepreneurs louder than we do today?

Question #2 – Failure used to be part of the story. Now it’s treated like the end of it.

Every household name giant – the ones with buildings named after them – failed first, usually more than once. Walt Disney went bankrupt before he built a mouse. Ford’s first two car companies collapsed. That’s not the footnote to their story, it’s the whole point of it.

Do you think we should be telling kids more about the failures behind our greatest builders – not just the wins?

Question #3 – “Giants” aren’t only household names.

For every Carnegie or Rockefeller, there’s a local builder – a hardware store owner, a small manufacturer, a first-generation founder – whose “garage story” never made it to a textbook but changed their community all the same.

Should an institution telling this story make room for local, small-scale entrepreneurs – not just the famous names?

Question #4 – Right now, this story lives in books and lecture halls. We think it belongs somewhere kids can actually step into.

We’re building Hall of Giants – an immersive, interactive experience (think less “museum,” more Disneyland-meets-Kennedy-Space-Center) where you don’t just read about the garage-to-Nasdaq story, you walk through it.

Do you think America needs a place like this – built for entertainment first, so the next generation actually wants to walk through the door?

Question #5 – Will you help Hall of Giants’ vision become reality?

Right now, founding supporters are helping us build Hall of Giants – piece by piece, brick by brick. You can be a founding donor of a new legacy institution to honor noble entrepreneurs who built America.

Will you help us build the place that keeps the garage story alive for the next generation who needs to believe in it?
