Vibewire and beyond

Vibewire Youth Inc is a truly youth-oriented organisation, founded by young people and taking university students as interns. It exists to support young people in effectively shaping their world through media, arts and entrepreneurial opportunities. You can visit Vibewire's main website.

Vibewire was founded by Tom Dawkins in 2000, who served as CEO until 2008. Tom has also involved in a number of successful projects, such as StartSomeGood, which aims at empowering entrepreneurs by providing financial and intellectual support through their website. Tom recently moved back from the US after 4 years, where he expanded his entrepreneurial experience and increased his Twitter following to over 300 000. I think it would be great to have Tom Dawkins share with us his experiences of establishing the Vibewire organisation, and to have him talk about supporting young entrepreneurs, in our feature project.

Have a look at Vibewire current board members here. Most of them are young people, who believe in the potential of young minds and who support young entrepreneurs. For example, Annie Le Cavalier, the Vice-President of Vibewire, is a digitally-savvy social entrepreneur and a story-teller, who loves to inspire young people. There is a great chance they would be willing to share their stories.
