"Participating in Start:ME proved immensely beneficial as it provided essential tools and knowledge. From honing business planning skills to mastering pitching and storytelling, developing financial plans, and navigating legal matters, each session contributed significantly to my entrepreneurial journey. The program also offered invaluable networking opportunities and practical experiences. It empowered me to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with greater confidence."
"The customer interviews were really eye opening for us, and really informed our next stage of growth. We probably would not have done those if not for that section of the program. We learned so much."
"My biggest hurdle with my business was finances. Once I understood how to set up and read a profit and loss statement, it changed everything for me. I'm able to effectively price my services now and I wouldn't have gained that without Start:ME."
“This was a wonderful opportunity from the Start:ME team. We were able to get some great photos that will help promote our business and highlight the work we do. It was a great opportunity to participate in something that we normally wouldn't have the cash flow to do.”
"Know that you are surrounded by the most amazing mentors and professionals who selflessly give of themselves and time to make your business thrive; but you must put in the work, which will be challenging at times, but worth it in the end."
"I am proud of pitching my brand to a room full of people. I was able to successfully engage with the crowd, hit all of my talking points, and deliver my pitch without notecards. That was a huge win for me!"
"I am so proud that I have a business plan!!! I’ve tried for years to write one and had no idea where to start. Now I have one and feel great about it!"
"I am now a more confident business owner. I knew I had a special skill that people respond to, but I was not as confident as to how to turn it into a business. I'm more business savvy, smarter about what questions to ask, and clear about next steps. I had taken myself as far as I could go alone and Start:ME gave me the confidence, resources, connections and information to keep moving forward to create a thriving service-based business."
