| Summary: | "Eye-opening-shatters several myths, legends, and assumptions about entrepreneurship, opportunities for entrepreneurs, and the role of start-ups in society." -Jay Rao, Professor of Technology & Innovation, Babson College <br> <br> Writer, consultant and speaker Chris Rabb coined the term "invisible capital" to represent the unseen forces that dramatically impact entrepreneurial viability when a good attitude, a great idea, and hard work simply aren't enough.<br> <br> In his book, Invisible Capital- How Unseen Forces Shape Entrepreneurial Opportunity , Rabb puts forth concrete and effective ways entrepreneurs and their advocates can build and grow sustainable enterprises amid these unseen forces created by society's uneven playing field.<br> <br> By honoring democratic ideals, challenging assumptions, and reframing how success is defined, Rabb illuminates the promise of commonwealth entrepreneurship. This compelling and often counter-intuitive book illustrates how broad and meaningful entrepreneurial opportunity benefits not just individual entrepreneurs, but local communities and society at large.<br> <br> "My book discusses how green jobs can fix America's two biggest problems- pollution and poverty. Invisible Capital illustrates masterfully why community-centered entrepreneurship is an essential component of this solution." -Van Jones, New York Times -bestselling author of The Green Collar Economy <br> <br> "Women entrepreneurs and advocates for women-owned businesses, listen up and read Chris Rabb's book to find out how to evaluate invisible capital-not just financial capital-and leverage it for success." -Linda Tarr-Whelan, author of Women Lead the Way <br> <br> "Democratizing the economy is one of the truly great challenges of the twenty-firstcentury. In this splendid book, Chris Rabb provides a detailed guide to the invisible forces that benefit the few and hold so many other people back. Make it required reading for your business bookshelf." -Michael Edwards, author of Small Change |
