The Forum's name, BóLè, is inspired by an old chinese idiom. It signifies a visionary who possesses sharp eyes for talent (before anyone else) and who empowers such talent with the guidance and the opportunities to flourish — qualities that we want to find, celebrate and harness at the Chicago Booth Angels Network. At the inaugural BóLè Forum, we have invited an exclusive group of BóLè from around the world to Hong Kong this spring.
