Sri Lanka Chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO) supports local-member entrepreneurs 

The Entrepreneurs’ Organisation or EO, led by a vision to build the world’s most influential community of entrepreneurs, is a high-quality support network of 14,000+ like-minded leaders across 61 countries.

EO also has a vibrant Sri Lanka chapter as well, which was established in 2017, and now counts 34 members with five forums recording median sales of US$5 million, the Sri Lanka chapter said in a media release. 

EO SL is now inviting more entrepreneurs to join the network, more so amidst a global pandemic, when normal rules of business may not always apply. At such an uncertain time, having the support and guidance of other successful entrepreneurs, helps EO SL’s members relook at their own strategies and goals to fulfil their true potential despite challenges. Since EO is a non-profit, all dues are channeled towards enhancing member experience. Entrepreneurs who are part of EO benefit from valuable business-saving knowledge and advice from a trusted, confidential, vulnerable, open-sharing community of 14000+ members across 62 countries.
 
Commenting on the EO and its membership, Revantha Devasurendra – President EO Sri Lanka Chapter said: “EO is a transformational journey both personally and in business. Membership in EO gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn and grow together through shared experiences and the benefit of a global member network committed to learning and helping each other grow. EO offers unique advantages to members such as gaining access to the world’s top experts and overcoming challenges through their encouragement and support.”

The release said that EO’s member base consists of entrepreneurs only who are either owners, founders, or controlling shareholders in companies that achieve at least $1 million in revenue annually, while for venture capitalists, the funds managed should be $ 2 million or $5 million publicly with at least 10 employees.

Over 30 years, the organisation has helped entrepreneurs achieve their full potential from its beginnings to evolve into the world's most influential community of entrepreneurs. Since its inception, EO has structured itself around what entrepreneurs need, and with time has been able to adapt to those needs, COVID-19 is another adaptation. EO has been quick to pivot its offering to support this new virtual world.
