Open Entrepreneurs

Inspired to start your own business or organization? Can't wait to lead your peers to something new and different?

Projects in the Open Entrepreneurs category showcase the spirit of young leaders who turn ideas into reality. These projects revolve around creating and launching a new business or civil society organization (i.e., nonprofits or NGOs). They could also be tools to help existing organizations run better. Open entrepreneurs use “open business models” that embrace transparency and deliver open source/content products or services. Think about new kinds of customer database services, ways to share presentations online, and coordinating meetings with people scattered around the world. Projects can range from a published online business plan to an up-and-running business or organization. The more fully realized the vision is, the better!
