Capitalist Cleveland founder gets Crain's kudo

Don Larson, founder and co-robber baron of Capitalist Cleveland as well as mastermind and master of ceremonies for the lively Gorilla Group that meets at the Market Avenue Wine Bar each second Tuesday of every month, has just received recognition by Crain’s Cleveland Business with a “Forty under 40” award for his positive attitude toward Cleveland. (see page F-8 if you get the hard copy). Don is also the Vice President of Sales for Boundless Flight, a major sponsor for the Gorilla Group.

A person of boundless energy and shameless enthusiasm for the city and its entrepreneurs, Don inspires people to do their best, to succeed without regard for negative attitudes, and to have fun while they're at it.

Thanks for your passion and your sense of humor, Don. And congratulations on receiving public recognition for it by the city's most respected business publication!

I’m glad to see Don getting the recognition he deserves. Due to his passion and exuberance, the Gorilla Group will inspire a truck load of local entrepreneurs. His only problem now is trying to maintain the casual, intimate feeling as the number of attendees mushrooms.

So true, Larry. The upstairs room is already jammed beyond capacity sometimes. The question is really only HOW he will do it--THAT he will do something cool goes without saying.

Looks like the BF website might be having a few hiccups. Try again in a while.
