Raizcorp: Planting the Seeds for Entrepreneurial Growth and Prosperity

Description

Raizcorp: Planting the Seeds for Entrepreneurial Growth and Prosperity: Abstract

Raizcorp chief executive Allon Raiz was faced each day with many applications to join his business incubation Prosperator programme. He knew what to look for in an entrepreneur, but it was not always “cut and dried”. In September 2012, he and his panel were considering an applicant who had passed all the tests with flying colours, and they were unanimous in their belief that he had what it took to be successful. His business, however, left them in doubt. It was a struggling IT support company, which they felt had no differentiating factors in an already overtraded industry.
