Company founder Jim Van Eerden has always had a passion for combining business and mission, for the intersection between entrepreneurial enterprise and cause. His unique experiences, including start-up roles for Global 2000 and fast-growth early stage companies, has earned Jim a reputation as one of the nation’s leading “blended value” strategists. His partners and colleagues and staff all share the vision to help global entrepreneurs inspire a better world.™
Helixx protagonists also share a belief in the idea that People Matter – and that each person is made with a spiritual equivalent of their natural DNA that gives them gifts to share with the world. A part of our work is the high calling of helping people to know that truth, and to live in light of that reality. We do that in part through our partnership with The Center for Missional Entrepreneurship.
Jim and his wife Rachel seek to live this mission in their personal lives, too. As parents of 11 children, they enjoy hosting “entrepreneurial and missional co-conspirators” at their homestead in North Carolina as a part of the Helixx and CME experience.

give others…I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.” – Thomas Edison
