About EO
A Global Community for Entrepreneurs

We are a global community of nearly 20,000 members in more than 220 chapters and 80 countries. We are united by our passion for entrepreneurship and commitment to moving the world forward.
In EO, we support the whole entrepreneur in business and beyond because successful enterprises start with people. We connect entrepreneurs locally, then globally, encouraging members to bring their whole selves to a trusted community that creates growth and belonging for them and the people in their lives.

Our Core Values
Together We Grow
We are committed to each other's success and well-being, and we unite to celebrate our differences. We may be from different cultures and religions, and have different lived experiences, but EO binds us together across cities and continents.
Trust and Respect
Each of us is unique and equal. Living this value with an open mind and appreciation for different points of view enables us to create a space where everyone can be their complete, authentic selves.
Thirst for Learning
We have an insatiable curiosity. Through curiosity, we grow and widen our horizons. Learning is about more than a class or a workshop. It is about asking the right questions, trying new things, and having curiosity about other members, their life experiences, and their perspectives.
Think Big, Be Bold
We innovate and take risks to make the world a better place for our teams, our families, our communities, and humankind. We think big, and we are bold. We want to make a difference beyond ourselves. We see entrepreneurship as a way to create a better world for all, and we explore new opportunities to make a positive impact with our work.
Our Influence and Impact
EO members are more than business owners. We are job creators, innovators, and community leaders. By sharing our experiences and learning from each other, we increase our aptitude to drive economic growth, spearhead technological advancements, and address local and global challenges that create opportunities for people in our communities.
Our influence also extends beyond membership. Through commitments to young and early-stage entrepreneurs in EO programs like the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) and EO Accelerator program (EOA), we are nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs and fostering innovation worldwide.
