Why the Dandelion?

Dandelions are especially well-adapted to a modern world of “disturbed habitats,” such as lawns and sunny, open places. When disturbed, dandelions spread further and are more difficult to exterminate. They grow under more adverse circumstances than most competitors, in fact, the more you try to weed them out, the faster they grow!

Much like the entrepreneurial spirit, the dandelion is a tough plant, able to grow in places that challenge lesser vegetation, with the ability to spread virally across the landscape when unleashed. In short, the enduring, intrepid and tenacious dandelion is the patron flower of the entrepreneur.

That is why our e2e connect awards are known as the ‘Dandis,’ after the dandelion, champion of entrepreneurs everywhere!
