The EIE three-pillar philosophy:
-
The person is the most important factor. We look for people with the abilities, knowledge, and values needed to be an entrepreneur first and foremost.
-
The idea is the next step. You need an idea to start a project, good ideas to help build and strengthen it, new ideas to overcome obstacles or failures, and flexible ideas that can be adapted to suit the situation and surroundings.
-
The project is the final piece of the puzzle. It needs to be viable and scalable, and adaptable to new or changing markets. The beauty is that an entrepreneur can have several projects, and a single project can have several entrepreneurs.
