Why is EntreOasis Needed?
There are many motivated people, high quality resources, and effective programs around the world focused on supporting entrepreneurship. But, finding the right people, resources, and programs to meet specific objectives is far too difficult. The industry is highly fragmented, many people work in isolation, and Internet searches return too many unqualified results.
And, while there are many good entrepreneurship websites, there is no single destination that offers both broad and deep coverage of all aspects of entrepreneurship. Coverage that can satisfy the varied and changing needs of youth, adults, students, instructors, facilitators, parents, community leaders, economic development professionals, vendors, and entrepreneurs.
The result is that good quality resources and programs go underutilized, and much focus, energy, and money is lost to frustrating searches and duplication of efforts. The entrepreneurial spark is often extinguished before it can even flame.
EntreOasis solves these problems
EntreOasis is a one-stop information shop that combines an information portal, educational destination, content management, community-contributed content, folksonomies, social networking, and other Web 2.0 features to bring the best the world has to offer in one place.
The focus of EntreOasis is not the production of new content -- that is left to the global entrepreneurship community, whether nonprofit or for profit. Instead, EntreOasis aggregates and leverages the best people, content, practices, and resources the world has to offer and makes it all available from a single website. It provides anyone and everyone involved or interested in entrepreneurship the ability to find what they need, when they need it, immediately and easily.
