John Mullins is
a familiar figure to members of the world’s leading
communities of entrepreneurs – the Young Presidents’
Organization (YPO), The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), and
Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) – as well as to the angel
investor and venture capital communities globally. His
widely acclaimed books, The
New Business Road Test and Getting to
Plan B (with esteemed venture capitalist Randy
Komisar) along with his newest book The
Customer-Funded Business are definitive works on
assessing opportunities and on business models. His writings together with his
workshops for YPO, TiE, EO and many others, have made John a
sought-after speaker and educator worldwide.
John’s highly interactive and inspiring workshops on matters
relating to starting, financing, and growing fast-growing
entrepreneurial companies have found their way to all but
two of the world’s seven continents – no call from Oceania
or the penguins in Antarctica just yet – and have thereby
made an important contribution to the world’s economic
development. As the research clearly shows, fast-growing
entrepreneurial companies – not start-ups, not large
multinationals – are the drivers of job growth everywhere,
from America to Zambia. Helping to unlock entrepreneurial
potential and its financing is what John loves to do!
