Join the F55+ Collective to share ideas, raise issues, and connect with peers who are puzzling over key questions like:<ul><li>What motivates founders over 55? . . . is it all about the money? the life-purpose? the intellectual, creative and social engagement? mutual learning with the next generation(s)?</li></ul><ul><li>What drives the success of our ventures? . . . is it lifelong experience and wisdom? renewed curiosity? blending the old with the new? </li></ul><ul><li>What resources are most valuable/needed? . . . access to capital, markets, and partners? alternative sources of funding for encore founders who don't "fit" the typical VC profile? tips for engaging multi-generational teams?</li></ul><ul><li>What are the practical challenges and best-practices? . . . balancing a healthy lifestyle with the rigorous demands of running a successful business in today's hyper-competitive climate? balancing accumulated wealth with the risk of starting something new? getting visibility in the ecosystem? strategies to combat ageism bias ??</li></ul>The F55+ Collective is an initiative of <a href="http://cic.com/agency" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AGENCY: Worldwide Innovation for Living Longer and Aging Better</a>.
