Local Business Owners Selected To Join National Entrepreneurial Organization

goBRANDgo! co-owners Brandon Dempsey and Derek Weber were recently selected to join the global Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), a network of more than 8,000 business owners in 40 countries.  Founded in 1987, EO has 120 chapters with membership by invitation only. 

EO enables entrepreneurs to learn from each other and share experiences, thus leading to further business success.  The group’s average member is 41 years old and has annual revenue of $17.3 million.

Prior to being invited to join the group, both Affton resident Dempsey, 27, and Weber, 29, participated for more than two years in EO’s “Accelerator Program”.  This program, which is a series of events for business owners with companies earning between $250,000 and $1 million, is designed to teach entrepreneurs how to grow their companies utilizing specific tools, skills and access to EO mentors.  Weber served on the Accelerator Program’s board of directors for two years.
