“The Entrepreneurs' Center provided me great resources during the most critical time of my start-up…… “my pre-start-up stage”.  Having an inexpensive dedicated space that I could focus on my business plan and strategy was key.  In addition, the human resources available to me during this stage was very useful.  Having access to people that had experience in business was very important and the Entrepreneurs' Center both had these people internal as well as connected me with many other people to assist me in the development of my business.”
