EIR Testimonials
“Hearing Al's extensive experience and what he has learned through his entrepreneurship journey was invaluable. The tools and advice provided on how to validate a business idea was excellent.”
“Cheranissa asked really great questions to help me get my ideas from my head into something concrete for my business plan. She is thoughtful, strategic and a great coach.”
“I feel totally heard by Sandra and her encouragement and advice are so helpful!”
“So far this whole experience has been extremely helpful. I didn’t even know a program like this existed until a couple weeks ago. The amount of help that I’m getting for free seems unreal. But I am definitely going to take advantage of every single thing offered to me. Thank you all so much!”
“Danielle was so resourceful. She provided me with very useful options and demonstrations on how to navigate social media sites. She informed me on the best practices for marketing on social media platforms. I really appreciated her time and expertise.”
