"My VentureStart mentor told me to go sell stuff. And I did, and now I have found my market niche. I'll be in a much better position to go out for funding, or continue to grow the business organically”
Brett Owens, CEO, Chrometa

"As a mentor, there's great satisfaction in knowing you've made a difference in the success of a company in the region. One idea, one introduction, another set of experienced eyeballs to give a perspective on a product or plan can make a huge impact."
Dave Tanel, Mentor
