WPFSI’s special guest on “There’s Money out There” will be the author of “Invisible Capital” Christopher Rabb. Last year Mr. Rabb was a speaker at TEDX Philadelphia.
Chris Rabb coined the term "invisible capital" to represent those unseen forces that dramatically impact business viability when hard work, a great idea, and a good attitude 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.
