A Message From the Founders

Encorepreneur! is an organization for leaders who are thinking about "what's next" in their careers and their personal lives.

We are fortunate to have been among the founders of two business organizations that have served those companies and the community for the last two decades – The Richmond Venture Forum and RVATECH, Richmond's technology council. Today, many of our colleagues, friends and associates are beginning to think about the next stage of their lives, and that brings a whole new set of challenges and opportunities. We believe these opportunities and challenges create a need for a new community.

As a result, we started encorepreneur! an organization that is of interest to the many business, professional, government and civic leaders who have been our partners in working in Richmond’s exciting business sector during the last 30 years.

The mission of encorepreneur! is to help leaders of Richmond’s business, civic, educational and nonprofit organizations make their next business and personal accomplishments as successful, full of purpose and as fun as they have been in the past.

We launched the group with plans for a number of monthly events that showcase a diverse group of indivduals, topics and venues that will be of interest to business leaders contemplating the next stage of their careers. We hope you agree and will join us in building a new community.

Welcome to encorepreneur!
