Writer, consultant and speaker Chris Rabb coined the term โinvisible capitalโ to represent the unseen forces that dramatically impact entrepreneurial viability when a good attitude, a great idea, and hard work simply arenโt enough.
In his book,ย Invisible Capital: How Unseen Forces Shape Entrepreneurial Opportunity, Rabb puts forth concrete and effective ways entrepreneurs and their advocates can build and grow sustainable enterprises amid these unseen forces created by societyโs uneven playing field.
By honoring democratic ideals, challenging assumptions, and reframing how success is defined, Rabb illuminates the promise of commonwealth entrepreneurship. This compelling and often counter-intuitive book illustrates how broad and meaningful entrepreneurial opportunity benefits not just individual entrepreneurs, but local communities and society at large.
