I believe that communities deeply empower individuals. If there is a shortcut to a great life, it is to surround yourself with people who are invested in your personal growth. I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of truly heart-centered entrepreneurs, and I am consistently amazed the power they discover when supported by their Tribe. And that is why we started the Village.

Teju Ravilochan
I want to live in a world where every human being can be the master of their own fate, unbound by the chains of poverty, oppression, or injustice. To me entrepreneurship, coming from French for “to taking into one’s own hands” gets at that fundamental human drive to rule our destinies. And when that drive is combined to empower others to do the same, I believe no force can be more powerful.

His goal is to bring people together in a march to create a world where we empower each other with inextinguishable drive.

I strive to live deliberately, compassionately and to generate a positive impact every day. I moved to Boulder from New England in April 2012 in search of a stimulating and inspirational community — and couldn’t be more grateful for where my life has taken me. If I’m not at the Village or HUB you can find me playing in the mountains.
