- Synopsis
- &“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 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. 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. 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. &“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&“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 &“Democratizing the economy is one of the truly great challenges of the twenty-first century. 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
