Invent > The Entrepreneurship Institute

Founded in 1976, TEI's primary mission is to provide 24/7 opportunities for business owners to acquire knowledge, experience and resources needed to achieve their goals. TEI is dedicated to meeting the knowledge and networking needs of America's small and mid-market company presidents. When presidents can learn from each other what works and can tap the expertise of top level professionals who serve on our advisory boards, they are better able to lead their companies to stronger profits and sustained growth. This creates wealth and jobs, both of which are good for America. TEI's education programs, networking opportunities and business communications are targeted at the presidents of existing multi-million dollar enterprises. A growth orientation is a key criteria for invitation to Institute learning programs such as the President's Forum. TEI is composed of local institute chapters which are advised and sponsored by local advisory boards. These local boards are comprised of successful business owners and professionals such as bankers, accountants, business attorneys, investors, marketing and management consultants, and other small and mid-market business service providers.
