YORK, UK. June 4th, 2026 – Intrapreneur Mits Griffin is on a mission to help experts, coaches, mentors and specialists, share their solutions that help solve the world’s problems.
But what is an intrapreneur?
“An intrapreneur is actually an entrepreneur who is working inside the business of another entrepreneur,” explained Mits. “It is having two highly skilled people build things together, where they can both bring their collective experiences to the table and into business.
“It covers everything from thinking about the big picture to planning what steps a business might need to take next to actual implementation of those steps.”
Mits’ particular area of expertise focuses on helping entrepreneurs find their way through business and handle marketing, tech, systems, launches in the best possible way – especially on-line.
“I work with visionary entrepreneurs who are starting new ideas, initiatives and adventures,” she said.
“I started in the web designer realm, then got into marketing and digital marketing in that space. I got experienced in running virtual events and creating platforms where people can share their vision and message. I was also looking at how people can best present themselves on-line at virtual events.
“Even people who have experience in business might not have experience in the online space Sometimes they just want someone else to bounce ideas off and someone who understands them, so they don’t have to explain themselves.”
Laser focus on a business’ targets is essential in those formative early days, and that is where Mits comes in: “In the early stages, it can really help to have someone leading in that area so you, as the entrepreneur, can focus on your area of expertise without having to manage anyone else,” she said.
“You don’t have to tell them, ‘Do this, this and this.’. Instead, an intrapreneur will say ‘How about trying this, this and this?’ and if it sounds good, we do it.
“It accelerates progress and makes the business building more fun, because now you have a co-worker who is enough like you to understand you but has a different skill set, so you don’t need a huge team with lots of specialists that you need to manage.”
The intrapreneur’s role is to take some of the pressure off: “When you are an entrepreneur, you have to wear so many hats,” said Mits. “Working with an intrapreneur lets you take a couple of those hats off. “The thing that I do as an intrapreneur that makes it different from other roles, is that it blurs boundaries.”
“It’s different from having a coach, who might tell you what to do then just leave you to do it, and it’s different from having a team member who’s just waiting for you to give them a task. An intrapreneur works in-between.
“With the way the world is going, there is so much turmoil that I think there is going to be an increase in the problems that people face and I really, passionately believe that businesses are one way of providing solutions.
“Every business that exists is there to help solve a problem and there are so many ideas that can help people in everyday life, but the issue is getting that idea into made into something real, tangible and sustainable.
“I love the thought of helping launch these new initiatives and ideas, so they contribute to making people’s lives better in some way. That’s the heart of why I’m doing what I do and in the way I’m doing it is to make it more fun.”
