WHEN DID YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, “I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR”? I remember walking into my house after my first Forum experience in 2009. For 30 years, EO has been led by countless members who have volunteered their time to help strengthen the organization. I have used this skill to launch several businesses over the years.

The VC market has right-sized (returned back to mid 90′s levels & less competition). Lower costs to start a business (95% reduction), many more companies created & funded by angels / seed.
