What is 'Pawn Your Diamond'?

'Pawn Your Diamond' offers the community information about the Fortune 500 companies.

Why the name?
The aim behind our name is to give young entrepreneurs the incentive to start from scratch with the hope that this small money they got from pawning a diamond they had aside, grows and flourishes into a multi billion dollar corporation.

Too dreamy?
Simply NOT. Such famous corporations did not exist forever. Each and every foundation did start somewhere and usually had one or a few founding members. So grab the general concept and work hard!
