Another Resource to Help Aspiring Ecopreneurs

January 8, 2009 By 3 Comments

In addition to Paul’s posting on Startingupgreen, another very similar service exists at www.ecopreneursguide.com, a helpful site for those looking to start a green company or learn about ecopreneurship. 

I started the Ecopreneur’s Guide (also on Facebook by the same name, please become a fan if you’d like!) shortly after writing Build a Green Small Business:  Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur.  My previous experience was as publisher and ecopreneur of a regional green business directory called the ReDirect Guide, which I started with Mike Johnson, Robin Wang, and Kirsten Gelella in 2004 in Utah. 

Ecopreneursguide.com is a blog and resource guide.  Check it out and send me feedback!  Would love to hear from everyone.
