TRUST AND RESPECTIn business, as in life, integrity is everything. Within our organization integrity goes deeper than just the game rules— it is our code of conduct. Confidence, respect and inclusiveness are imperatives. Non-judgment and non-solicitation are non-negotiable.
THIRST FOR LEARNINGOur most valuable asset is wisdom gained through our appetite for knowledge and the transformational experiences that we share with our peers. A thirst for learning leads to an open mind. A thirst for learning leads to an open mind, and an open mind leads to greater opportunity.
BOLDLY GO!This is what we’ve done all our lives. It’s what allows us to grow and take risks. It inspires us to never give up, celebrating failures as well as successes. It’s an innate instinct born out of courage, creativity and eternal optimism.
MAKE A MARKWe are not afraid of challenge convention. We are in control of our destiny, and with that comes a great responsibility. To build value. To make a difference. To leave a legacy. We are willing to put in the effort to transform any experience into a positive one for all.
COOLCool defines our approach, our attitude and our experiences. As we carve our own path, we are reinventing the experience of what it means to be an entrepreneur. We are vibrant and progressive. We commit to forward thinking. We commit to innovation. We commit to cool.

René WiertzCEO 3T Cycling After founding 3T and working extremely hard to get it off the ground, I found myself feeling quite isolated 4 years later. Many of my friends didn’t really understand my experiences and worries about building a company: growth issues, finance issues, HR issues. I was looking for peers to share my experiences with and feel supported by people with a similar situation that could really understand how an entrepreneurs life looks like. In EO I found this ‘home’ where I find like minded people who give me lots of support, energy, motivation and inspiration to go on the way of building a great business.
Andrea GrisdaleFounder & CEO - icbellagio Founding my own company back in 1999 was both an exciting and lonely time. Not having people who could truly relate to the ups and downs, joys and disappointments, reason behind the often considered ‘risks’ that I choose to take to grow my business, understand my crazy work hours and dedication to my cause was a challenge. Fortunately a colleague from New Zealand introduced me to EO and how it had helped her in so many ways from her family and personal life as well as her business life and that was the start of a new beginning. The opportunity to share in a totally safe environment and above all learn from the experience of like-minded Entrepreneurs has been so fundamental for myself, family and business.
Jacobus GrootFounder & CEO QRP International Entrepreneurs are a strange species of people and you only realize it until you are one of them. Solitary, driven by their own dreams, thriving for freedom in life they are often misunderstood and so I felt after a couple of years being an entrepreneur. I needed fresh feedback and fresh sharing of ideas, not new sales, new contacts, new leads, new network, but new ideas to make my business a great business. I attended EMP (Entrepreneurial Master Program at the MIT in Boston as part of my EO membership and it has given my self and my business the edge to become a great business.
