The Entrepreneurs, Issue 9 (Monocle)
Release date: August 5, 2025
The Entrepreneurs is Monocle’s handsome handbook for starting, improving or upending your business – and we have plenty in the way of ideas and inspiration. We profile the best places to start a venture, whether that’s running a hotel in Mexico or a business from the beach beyond Lisbon. Our outposts of opportunity also spell out why Seoul is seeing a retail revival, how Helsinki became a go-to for canny companies and why Miami’s art and design scene is hotting up. Elsewhere, we talk about retraining at a top design school and the future of the office – yes, there is one. Plus: big interviews offering advice, analysis and wisdom for fledgling firms and established ones. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started.
In this issue:
Welcome to our annual business special – Monocle: The Entrepreneurs. Take a trip through Côte d’Ivoire’s largest city as it enjoys an economic boom, tour Wall Street’s revamped HQs as businesses look to lure remote workers back into the office and leaf through our Mexico Survey, which has insights into the country’s art opportunities, buzzing hospitality scene and more. Plus: no one ever really owns a Bic. So how has the company’s CEO, Gonzalve Bich, made it a success story? Stock up on entrepreneurial tips for the year ahead and beyond.
