Werner Erhard & Associates

In 1981 Werner Erhard and other key est employees formed Werner Erhard & Associates by purchasing the assets of est, an educational corporation. Werner Erhard & Associates was Werner’s reinvention of what an organization could be and do – the context of which was a world that worked for everyone, and that individual lives could make a difference for everyone. The legal structure of the company was the simplest possible structure; and this simple structure allowed for association with a number of entities that utilized the ideas Werner Erhard had developed.
