Entrepreneur Commons (http://www.entreco.org) is a network of entrepreneurs that provides peer-support. Entrepreneurs meet on a regular basis (typically once a month) to share issues and successes on their current projects with other entrepreneurs. These meetings are an opportunity for all to exchange information, knowledge and contacts in a trusted environment.

San Francisco chapter member Brandon P. says: “Through EC, I’ve met a solid, knowledgeable group of entrepreneurs who challenge my thinking and gladly offer assistance.“

Members of Entrepreneur Commons also have access to the global network of entrepreneurs who have already joined local chapters in other places, or who have joined the online community through the Entrepreneur Commons Academy (http://entreco.supercoolschool.com). Currently there are chapters in eight cities: San Francisco, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Oakland CA, Miami, Chicago, New York and Paris France.

We look forward to seeing you all there.
