“Startup Community Trailblazer” is a fancy title for me, but I’ll take it. I’ve decided to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2025 in Indianapolis to launch Give First: The Power of Mentorship.
I’ll be there from mid-Monday (June 2) through the end of Tuesday (June 3), and my presentation will be the closing keynote on Tuesday from 4:15 to 5:00 on the main stage.
I attended GEC in Rio in 2013 and have been friends with Jonathan Ortmans, the founder and president, for many years. Jonathan and his team have had an enormous impact on spreading and democratizing entrepreneurship worldwide, along with his board members, several of whom (Jeff Hoffman and Donna Harris) are friends from whom I’ve learned a lot.
If you are interested, register and join us. I’ll be hanging out all day Tuesday and hope to meet many new folks interested in entrepreneurship worldwide.
