WHAT DRIVES US
PEOPLE ARE OUR VITAL RESOURCE.
People are the heart of Opinno: from our team to our partners to the entrepreneurs we serve, our people are the reason we exist. The Opinno team is made up of high achievers, driven to create positive change in the world. The entrepreneurs and companies we work with are similarly driven, passionate, and committed. We work to match our internal team members with companies and ideas that they resonate with, believing that the direct transfer of energies and enthusiasms enables companies to flourish. As we grow, this diverse mix of experiences, insights, and skills will form an increasingly rich ecosystem with the power to make a tremendous impact on the world.
OUR MANTRA IS ACTION.
We choose entrepreneurship over academia, doing over contemplating, execution over analysis. We’re here to get things done. If we don’t have the answer, we will seek until we find it. Resourcefulness is how we move ahead; we believe that there is always a solution, and that limitations offer opportunities for breakthrough. If and when we fail, we will regroup, and then begin again.
WE SEEK OUT SPACES THAT FOSTER CREATIVITY.
One of Opinno’s most important components is the physical space we provide in cities around the world. We build spaces that empower creativity and liberation, stimulate cross-disciplinary thinking, nurture creativity, and yield superior outcomes. Because we’re serious about results, our spaces are “No Man’s Land,” operating outside the traditional constraints of politics, economics, gender, and religion.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO OPENNESS.
We have been strongly impacted by Henry Chesbrough’s groundbreaking work on open innovation, and we used those two words to form our name: Opinno. To us, open innovation means cultivating an open dialogue among everyone in our ecosystem, from clients to investors to partners, and even our competitors. We both give and request advice, feedback, and insight, believing that the free flow of information and ideas will serve to move everyone forward.
ALL WE WANT TO DO IS CHANGE THE WORLD.
We are dedicated to building the most powerful network of entrepreneurs and thriving innovation spaces that has ever existed. From this community, new ideas and businesses will blossom, changing the world in ways both big and small. It’s an audacious mission – but we believe it can be done with persistence, vision, and a commitment to positive change.
