“Since relocating to Colorado from New Jersey five years ago and connecting with the Boulder SBDC, the Boulder SBDC has had a positive impact on my success by supporting my evolving new business” Teri recounts. “Through participating in the innovative and diverse programs the SBDC offers, I have connected with other success-oriented business owners and continue to be privileged to learn with and from them. The topics the SBDC offers are relevant and timely and all aimed at business building. I have participated in a wide range of classes from polishing up my writing skills for more effective marketing messages to thought-provoking classes providing a fresh, new and stimulating look at diagnosing, predicting and solving my company’s challenges”.
