    The impact of small businesses on the economy and surrounding communities with Larry G. Webb, Small Business Administration

    99.9% of businesses in the US are considered small businesses, employing over 61 million Americans, or nearly half of private sector employees. This makes small businesses a critical part of the business world and the communities they serve. I’m Susan Soroko, Director of Creative Economy at Arlington Economic Development in Arlington Virginia. The role of Economic Development is to retain and attract businesses where workers can live and thrive in a great community even when the work world is changing. We support (small) business through programs like BizLaunch and value the importance of placemaking and a sector devoted to creative economy and the arts. Today we’re going to talk about small business/big economic impact. To help me discuss the role of small businesses, I’d like to welcome Larry G.

    In this engaging discussion, Maarten Van Kroonenburg discusses his entreprenurial background and how it led him to develop a tried and true process for innovation that companies large and small can adopt. Innovation isn't driven by an epiphany and it is not an unreachable goal, it is the outcome of following a process, as unintuitive as it may seem. Don't miss these insights and more in this compelling episode spanning two countries and one innovative topic! Maarten van Kroonenburg is the dynamic founder and CEO of BW Ventures. Maarten is driven by a bold vision to transform the landscape for small businesses by developing resilient and scalable business models. From his early days as an entrepreneur in the music industry, Maarten quickly recognized the pitfalls small businesses face when modeled too closely on large corporations, often leading to critical and sometimes fatal mistakes. Armed with years of experience and a deeper understanding, he established BW Ventures, aimed at guiding companies to sidestep common pitfalls and innovate effectively and safely. Maarten combines strategic insight with practical experience, leading BW Ventures with a focus on structured, customer-centric strategies. His leadership empowers companies to confidently tackle future challenges.
