It’s Global #Entrepreneurship Week #GEW2020!
The number of new businesses is growing in America. Economist Schumpeter calls it #creativedestruction.
From the ashes a new phoenix is reborn: call it #innovation, renovation, resilience, or, ultimately, ...hope in the future!
Did you know it's Global Entrepreneurship Week? All week we will be celebrating Goizueta entrepreneurs! Kicking off the week is Amelia Schaffner (@StratTech), Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Goizueta Business School. #GoizuetaStarts #entrepreneurship #GEW2020

We convened conscious #entrepreneurs change makers & #impact #investors @EmoryGoizueta who are making great business sense AND impacting our world for the better: we call it “starting upward”.
Startups can’t afford not to do good, and non-profits have to operate like businesses
A compelling story is everything. Great advice for #entrepreneurs #pitching their #startup concept.

Love the #startupequation:

3) growth (#funding, marketing, sales, scaling and #innovation)
X) the x-factor
