CREATEUR CONFERENCE & PITCH COMPETITION

Creator + Entrepreneur = Createur, Gen. 1:1 - "In the beginning God created ..."

God is the ultimate and first entrepreneur, and He showed us His innovation and creativity when He created the world. So likewise, the Creator God desires us, as entrepreneurs, to create.
