Empowering Leadership, Building Success
A Dedicated Team Driving Innovation, Growth, and Entrepreneurial Excellence
Our EIW Family
The Entrepreneurial Institute of Washington and our partners have focused efforts on assisting small businesses one at a time. These efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in contracts, 1,000+ minutes of free professional education, business partnerships, formalized mentorship-protege agreements, and dozens of job placements. Yet, over the years, we realized that to assist more entrepreneurs, we needed more dependable and successful business partners to expand our reach.
We are blessed to have the most active and fastest-growing entrepreneur base in the nation. Many have found value participating in our events, which have resulted in lifelong partnerships that will aid businesses for years to come.
