DURHAM – In a popular post on Medium, Ryan Holmes, the founder and CEO of Hootsuite, raised a question about whether the entrepreneurial economy may inadvertently be ageist. A new group known as Elder Innovators is tackling that issue in the Triangle.
“I see a void in our entrepreneurial talent pipeline and seek to include people 50 years of age and older into the start-up spaces,” reads the LinkedIn profile of Lee Anne McClymont, the southeast USA fellow for the Global Institute for Experienced Entrepreneurship (GIEE). McClymont is among the leaders of a growing community of experienced professionals interested in learning more about and getting involved in the innovation economy in the Triangle.
