“I’m proud to introduce a new, non-profit venture this fall: Zentrepreneur.Life.This program is for college students and all aspiring-entrepreneurs, created with evolutionary ethics and values, resources and mentorship that inspire creative thinking. Zentrepeneur.Life has grown out of my life and career experiences, surf and conscious awareness practice, and my years teaching entrepreneurship at Stanford University,” said Toby Corey, founder of Zentrepreneur.Life. “Our mission is to inspire, educate and guide a new generation of entrepreneurs, social & environmental warriors and creative spirits to challenge the toxic status quo by thinking more collectively and creatively.”
“We’re honored to be founding partners of Zentrepreneurship.Life, with UC Santa Cruz. Toby Corey is an inspiring and dynamic leader who exemplifies and amplifies the qualities that are driving the Santa Cruz tech movement – a potent combination of ethical, spiritual, and scientific thinking that is leading a new wave of conscious innovation across industries. Our startups benefit from Zentrepreneurship’s frameworks for making these guiding principles the foundation for any new venture,” said Keri Waters, President Santa Cruz Works.
