Today, I spoke at one of the most electrifying conferences that I have ever attended: The Inner City 100 sponsored by Inc Magazine, Michael Porter (HBS), Merrill Lynch, Staples and Chevron (to name a few). The conference honors the top 100 inner city companies that are growing the fastest. You have to be in business for 5 years with revenue of at least $1M…many had revenue of $20M and some had $300M! The entrepreneurs I met were shaping the future of our cities giving people opportunity. In the coming weeks, I will write about some of the people I met.
