Being an entrepreneur is the boldest thing you can do. And often the loneliest. You make decisions others dont understand. You carry responsibilities you cant fully share. You grow – but frequently without anyone beside you who truly knows how it feels. Thats exactly why the Entrepreneurs Organization exists. EO is a global peer-to-peer network for entrepreneurs with a minimum annual revenue of USD 1 million – people who dont want to be advised, but to learn from each other. No sales pitches. No outside consultants. Just real experiences, shared in confidence, among peers. EO calls this Instimacy – the elegant mix of instant and intimacy. In April 2025, the official launch of the new EO Chapter in Austria was celebrated in Vienna – with over 100 entrepreneurs from 15 countries. It is part of a global network of 20,000+ members across 80+ countries and 260 chapters worldwide. What youll find here: → Forum groups: small, confidential peer groups that truly know you – not just your business → Learning events: knowledge that flows directly into your entrepreneurial day-to-day → Global connections: 260 chapters, one network, one shared mindset → Local community: Vienna and Austria as home base – the world as your playing field We are local at heart. Global in mind. If you run a business with annual revenue of at least USD 1M and know theres more possible: EO might be exactly what youve been looking for. Think Big. Be Bold. #TogetherWeGrow
