“Truly global entrepreneurs might start from the other direction, building businesses around ideas and opportunities they discover elsewhere. One example is Amazon Millworks, founded by Andrew Sloop while he served on a Mormon mission to Peru. While there, Sloop met Peruvian carpenters who made exquisite furniture by hand. Today his North Carolina firm draws on these artisans to provide custom woodwork and furnishings for homes in the premium segment. Amazon Millworks was born global.”
