Futurpreneur Board members are leaders across a broad variety of sectors, from food wholesale and services to retail and consumer products to health innovation to education to financial services and lending, and more. Some have founded and led sole proprietorships and small businesses, others have built or are leaders in multi-billion-dollar enterprises.
Ten of our 14 Board members are entrepreneurs, including three young entrepreneurs who received Futurpreneur’s support in launching businesses (BiogeniQ, Kiwetin Clothing and Knix) that have achieved transformational impact in their sectors or communities.
