By and for Eco-entrepreneurs

“For many species, including humans, the climate may

be changing faster than we can keep up.

@RealityDrop http://clmtr.lt/c/Bxl0cg0fc?t=tw …”

Worst in 500 years!!

Economic: unemployment

• 6 M unemployed, 20% active population, 50% youth (January 2013)

Social: unequal opportunities

• Revenues from 10% wealthiest = 10 x 10% poorest’ (OECDE 2010)

Environmental: unsustainability of civilization

• 90 environmental indicators, only progress in 4 (GEO5, June 2012)

• Max. Temperatures up to 55ºC in Spain (IPCC, AR5, Sept. 2013)

1. Why? A necessity

To propell, promote & maximize the impact of eco-entrepreneurs,

change agents towards a more sustainable and fair society, through

replicable, self-sufficient and empowering business models.

Mission

High mortality rate among SMES and entrepreneurs:

• 80% SMEs in Spain die before 5 years, 90% before 10 [January 2014]

• Many entrepreneurs don’t even start (“pre-birth mortality” not in stats)

Against “entrepreneurial mortality”
