Global Entrepreneurship Club Top 25 Entrepreneurs to Watch: Five-category roster spotlights the founders, coaches, innovators and investors redefining 2025.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Global Entrepreneurship Club (GEC) today released its annual “Top 25 Entrepreneurs to Watch” list, a data-driven snapshot of the people reshaping business in 2025. Selected from more than 400 nominations and six months of independent research, the honourees span five domains—Technology, Media & Creator-Economy, Coaches & Consultants, Emergent Industries, and Investors / Fund Builders—reflecting where capital, talent and breakthrough ideas are converging most rapidly.

“This year’s cohort proves that deep-tech breakthroughs, creator-driven media models and capital-intensive hard science can all thrive in the same investment cycle,” said Arnel Saligumba, official spokesperson for the Global Entrepreneurship Club. “From fusion energy permits to AI-powered design suites, these founders and funders are showing how speed and scale now go hand in hand.”

Category Snapshots
Technology – Arthur Mensch (Mistral AI) and Alexandr Wang (Scale AI) lead the charge on frontier models, while Sam Sammane (TheoSym) prepares to launch HAIA tokens for democratized human-AI augmentation.


Media & Creator-Economy – Canva’s Melanie Perkins and Perplexity AI’s Aravind Srinivas are redrawing the online attention graph with generative tools and cited, real-time answers.


Coaches & Consultants – Industry heavyweights Alex and Leila Hormozi share the stage with rising star Veejay Madhavan, recognised for integrating AI literacy into Gen-Z leadership programmes.


Emergent Industries – Bob Mumgaard (Commonwealth Fusion) and Celine Halioua (Loyal) typify hard-tech’s renaissance, proving deep-science ventures can attract late-stage capital.
