These days there are more people who decided to be one of the entrepreneur. The Entrepreneur Commons idea is very simple, on one side provide mentors to entrepreneurs to help them mature their business plan.
On the other side provide financing resources for those entrepreneurs whose business idea is mature enough to belong to other. What is new with this is the combination of mentoring and financing in the specific context of entrepreneurs in developed countries. Entrepreneur Commons is a not-for-profit for and by entrepreneurs including a platform hosting a social network of entrepreneurs and which manages a seed investment fund offering loans to start ups.
The long term goal is to change the way start ups are being financed, as the current model works. And as a result, it is also to change the way we think about capitalism, going from individual trying to maximize their profit as the force that drives the system to fostering collaboration for a more sustainable capitalism.
