National Entrepreneur’s Day

National Entrepreneurs Day is celebrated in the United States every third Tuesday in November. This holiday honors all entrepreneurs who have played a vital role in shaping our world. Thanks to their creativity and hard work, we have many of the products and services we rely on every day.

History

National Entrepreneurs Day was created by the co-founders of Grasshopper in 2010.

Although the holiday is not officially recognized, President Barack Obama supported it in 2012. Since then, numerous events, meetings, lectures, and ceremonies are held in its honor.
