17. TRIS fills an unmet need…
“…..many youth who want to become entrepreneurs may never be able to realize their dreams. They do not have the necessary knowledge or skills to act on them; they are missing role models or personal relationships to see what it means to be a successful entrepreneur; and they lack encouragement needed to undertake a new venture.”
Walstad and Kourilsky (1999)

18. Entrepreneurship is key….
Market development at the “bottom of the pyramid” can create millions of new entrepreneurs at the grass roots level—from women working as distributors and entrepreneurs to village-level micro enterprises
“Entrepreneurship on a massive scale is the key.” [Prahalad, p. 2]
