 What Is Entrepreneurship? Capacity and willingness to undertake conception, organization, and management of a productive venture with all attendant risks, while seeking profit as a reward. In economics, entrepreneurship is regarded as a factor of production together with land, labor, natural resources, and capital. Entrepreneurial spirit is characterized by innovation and risk-taking, and an essential component of a nation's ability to succeed in an ever changing and more competitive global marketplace.

All About WBENC
The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), founded in 1997, is the nation's leading advocate of women-owned businesses as suppliers to America's corporations. It also is the largest third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the United States. WBENC works to foster diversity in the world of commerce with programs and policies designed to expand opportunities and eliminate barriers in the marketplace for women business owners. WBENC works with representatives of corporations to encourage the utilization and expansion of supplier/vendor diversity programs.
Dedicated to enhancing opportunities for women's business enterprises, WBENC works in partnership with women's business organizations located throughout the country to provide a national standard of certification for women-owned businesses. The organization also provides its corporate members and certified women's business enterprises (WBEs) with access to a range of B2B sourcing tools including, an Internet database - WBENCLink - that contains information on certified women's businesses for purchasing managers nationwide.
WBENC is a resource for the more than 700 US companies and government agencies that rely on the WBENC certification as an integral part of their supplier diversity programs.
Through its benchmarking surveys and ongoing interaction with certified women's business enterprises, WBENC has become the nation's leading source of information on trends in supplier diversity programs for WBEs at US companies and government agencies. WBENC also promotes best practices in supplier diversity through the annual selection of "America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises."
WBENC is a diverse coalition whose governance structure is grounded on these three legs: the corporations that hold two-thirds of the seats on the Board of Directors and provide insight into the needs of corporate America; the Leadership Council that represents the women's business organizations that have pledged to use the WBENC standards and submit annual reviews of their procedures and results; and the Women's Enterprise Leadership Forum, representing the certified WBEs from around the country.

A Special Note From PEI's President, CEO
Private Eyes, Inc. had the opportunity to attend the Inner City Advisors' 11th Annual Awards Breakfast at the Oakland Marriott Convention Center. Each year the Inner City 100 finds and ranks the nation's fastest-growing inner city businesses and recognizes them for their entrepreneurship and the benefits they contribute to urban economies.
The listing has evolved into a prestigious award and a powerful generator of innovative ideas for turning inner cities into places of enterprise and economic vitality. The companies honored are an important part of the formula for success for a thriving inner city.
It is encouraging to know that in the midst of economic uncertainty, Americans still thrive, even in our inner cities. The Bay Area Companies that were a part of the 2009 Inner City 100 were:
#18 Tucker Technology, Inc. #25 Numi Organic Tea
#19 Yerba Buena Engineering #26 e-Storm International
