Last night, Sydney-based entrepreneur Martin Martinez officially launched his privileges programme, Entrepreneur Card. The membership programme, priced at $495 a year, has been designed expressly for small and medium-sized business owners, who don’t receive the same nurturing that larger businesses do.
Australian entrepreneur Martin Martinez has recently unveiled Entrepreneur Card – a membership and rewards based programme dedicated to entrepreneurs and SMEs. Based on the US organisation Founders Card, the programme offers access to networking opportunities with well-established entrepreneurs and business leaders, as well as exclusive benefits and privileges from local brands in the travel, accommodation, lifestyle and dining industries, to name a few.
