Our Story

WE BELIEVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IS ESSENTIAL TO HUMAN FLOURISHING

Peter Drucker defined entrepreneurship as a “manifesto of dissent.” By that he meant that the entrepreneur stewards a sacred trust to make things better, no matter his domain of practice or his chosen sphere of influence. It’s in their spiritual DNA. They are born (and made) to innovate; born (and made) to serve people in unprecedented ways. They find a way. We believe that a world without the entrepreneurial spirit is an impoverished world. So, we made it our mission to help global entrepreneurs inspire a better world.
