Junto
Junto is a program I launched in 2004 to support entrepreneurs in pursuit of their dreams. It is designed to identify entrepreneurs with the greatest probabilities of success. Junto provides experiences and training; financing for business launches; networking opportunities and mentoring. It is a community designed to mitigate the structural risks of entrepreneurship. Junto provides this opportunity to many younger entrepreneurs; most are just completing an undergraduate degree. The program is perfect for those looking to learn more about entrepreneurship and expand their networks.
Entrepreneurship can solve problems, create value, unlock human potential, improve lives and foster independence and confidence. However, it is a career choice with its own risks. Sometimes results can include financial losses, loneliness, public failure and marital stress. These are the risks of entrepreneurship that are not so celebrated in the popular press. By addressing some fundamental characteristics of typical entrepreneurship, the Junto approach hopes to mitigate some of these risks.
