ERI is an organization dedicated to empowering people, students, and educators, with entrepreneurship skills to successfully start their own small business.
A Guide to Entrepreneurship and Financial Independence.
The purpose of ERI is to train educators at all levels (colleges, workforces, non-profits, and corporations) in lean startup methods.
There are 14 different ways to validate a concept, and our reference is the only document with each listed and explained.
The Core Program builds on the work of Clinton E. Day, entrepreneurship professor and author, through group lectures, workshops, and book talks to affinity groups.
Our primary emphasis is training the “lean”, evidenced-based state-of-the-art method. Because of its validation nature, anyone with desire can learn entrepreneurship and start their own business. Each ERI teacher is credentialed in the methodology.
Silicon Valley startups have designed a better and more successful way to start a new business. Because evidenced-based entrepreneurship uses validated planning, it doubles the chances for success and reduces risk.
ERI embraces this method of planning sometimes called lean or smart startup, and its staff have been formally trained to teach others the method.
Learning is easier when you have an excellent teacher. That's why most of our educators have achieved an advanced degree in their field. Our faculty are passionate about the subjects they teach and bring this enthusiasm into their lessons.
Are you a beginner, expert, or somewhere in between? Not to worry! We offer a variety of high-quality courses designed to prepare you for your next step. We offer placement tests to help match you to your skill level.
Our mission is to embrace the pursuit of excellence both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage critical thinking and emphasize the learning process over rote memorization.
Help us spread the survival skills of lean entrepreneurship to more newly created jobless workers. With their own desire, those unemployed persons because of A.I., Gig Economy growth, and COVID-19 job losses can start their own successful business.
