Entrepranu: Caribbean Business Groups

The goal of Entrepranu has been to create the premier network of like minded business people in the Caribbean.  Well we have added some new features to the website that will allow everyone to have a place to interact with each other not only in Antigua but in the entire Caribbean.  We have created the Caribbean Social network and hope that you will take the time to sign up.

We will also be looking to expand into other caribbean countries in the near future!

Thanks for the support and see you at the next Entrepranu Meetup!

Steve Chilton will be visiting Entrepranu to give a chat about The Open Street Map Project.

Here is a quick Bio on Steve:

Steve manages the e-Learning Academic Development Team within the Centre for Learning and Quality Enhancement (CLQE), and is also one of the University’s Learning Support Fellows. The team focuses on the curriculum and how e-learning technologies and methodologies may be applied to enhance the student learning experience. By training Steve is a cartographer, having originally studied at Oxford Brookes, and is research cartographer at the University.

We are excited to see everyone out at Entrepranu 1.1 and we are excited to meet all the new faces as well as welcome back all the previous members!

Grow

On June 7th we will have our second business meetup for anyone interested in business, networking, and public speaking in the Caribbean.  This meetup is dedicated to Growing our businesses and therefore will have a networking/referral pitch session that will describe the mission statement of the company, the strategies involved in running the company, and the difficulties faced with running the business.  You should also explain what type of people you are looking to work with, from referrals, sales, marketing, and any thing/one else you are looking to get in touch with!

We do not have a Keynote speaker so far, and I am not sure if we are going to get one for this meet up and mainly focus on sharing our businesses and getting the feedback and conversation going about our businesses.

If there is anything you would like to see on the agenda please email me: greg@entrepranu.com and let me know!

See you June 7th!

Just got back from the first Entrepranu meetup and am thrilled with the results.  We had a great crowd of people and everything seemed to flow perfectly.  We had a great range of people that made for an interesting mix in speeches and presentations.

The night started with an opening remarks and thanking everyone for coming as well as an overview of what Entrepranu is.  We then gave the floor to everyone in attendance to come up and give a speech, a toast or a presentation on anything they wanted to talk about.  Moving along to Battle Decks, a game that takes a slide show presentation you have never seen and pits 2 people to pitch the slides to the audience.  It was a great time and had everyone laughing.  We then had Laura Cotton give her top 10 tips on public speaking, and finally closed with a discussion on creating a charity for Antigua that combines all the entrepreneurs skills.

The next Meetup is on June 7th @ 5pm!  We hope to see everyone there again and to bring your friends!

EntreprANU is a small business group based in Antigua (Airport Code: ANU) that is focused on helping entrepreneurs succeed by combining the groups expertise in business to help each other grow their business and their knowledge.

The idea for EntrprANU came from the want of a public speaking group to help improve the little skills in public speaking that the founder, Greg Harrison had.

The Idea then became focused on not only improving public speaking skills but also learning the skills of other business people in Antigua.  

Starting May 3rd, we will be kicking off our first Entrepranu and are looking for people to come and share the experience.  To be a part of EntreprANU 1.0 please email greg@entrepranu.com.  We also need people who would like to present as a keynote speaker, giving the members a 30 minute speech and presentation on something that they find valuable to business owners.
