Payoff.com Partners With Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative to Unlock America's Entrepreneurial Potential

New Payoff.com platform is helping entrepreneurs dream again

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 10, 2011

A bleak economy and high unemployment rate have left many aspiring entrepreneurs wondering how to put food on the table and little time to dream. Between mounting debt and limited seed capital for new businesses, many entrepreneurial dreams have been put on hold. Payoff.com has teamed up with the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative (ELI) to help remove the financial obstacles that hold entrepreneurs back and fully unleash America's entrepreneurial potential.

"Money plays a part in every entrepreneur's story,” said Gary Schoeniger, Founder & CEO of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative. “Payoff's platform helps our students take control of their financial destinies and increases the likelihood that their entrepreneurial aspirations become more than just a dream."

“Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the American economy,” said Scott Saunders, CEO & Founder of Payoff.com who was recently profiled for ELI's Who Owns the Ice House? 8 lessons from real-world entrepreneurs. “We share a similar DNA with Gary and ELI and we're honored to form this partnership and be a part of leading America's economic recovery.”
