Testimonials

"What has impressed me the most about the FastTrac program is the staggering amount of knowledge, experience and wisdom brought to the table by the speakers, coaches and participants. The coaches are particularly impressive. For emerging companies, having access to serial entrepreneurs, attorneys, CEOs and financial experts is hugely valuable. "

"Joining the Northern Virginia Technology Council was a key first step for Conflicts Authority to be introduced to the local investment community. The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC was a co-organizer of the VC Entrepreneur Challenge. The Entrepreneur Center assisted in the selection of the applicants and judges for the March 2008 event, my company was chosen as an applicant, and won first prize in the Challenge. The Entrepreneur Center's efforts and contributions to the local entrepreneur community are greatly appreciated."

Phil Brown | CEO & Co-Founder | Conflicts Authority, Inc.

"The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC was extremely valuable to my start-up company. We had initially contacted the Entrepreneur Center to help us in business planning and fund raising efforts. The Entrepreneur Center gladly arranged advisors to assist the management team in the development of our business plan. The Entrepreneur Center and NVTC have also been a great resource for networking with local entrepreneurs and established business leaders. I strongly recommend small and growing companies to take advantage of the Entrepreneur Center's services."

"The NVTC FastTrac® TechVenture™ program is an invaluable experience for entrepreneurs starting or thinking about starting a new business venture. The opportunity to collaborate extensively with other entrepreneurs -- both the students and the coaches -- gave us the insight and feedback we needed to get our company on the right footing to take the market by storm! "

"The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC has been an invaluable resource for a startup technology business like Search Mojo. The center paired me with top-notch experts in various areas of business and introduced me to mentors I continued to employ after our initial meetings. From legal to sales advice, the information I received from these entrepreneur mentors has helped me guide my business in the right direction from the start."

Janet Miller | President | Search Mojo

"As a recent MBA graduate from Georgetown University, I learned all of the practical, technical, and functional skills to succeed in business during my two years of graduate training. However, I consider being part of the Entrepreneur Solutions program at NVTC as a type of post-graduate training and development where I can attain all of the intangible skills that one doesn't learn in business school."

Jason T. Williams | Founder | Birdwill Interactive Media, LLC

"The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC has been terrific in advising me of opportunities to present my start up to potential investors."

Barry Yatt | Founder | ArchibasX

"I enjoyed the informal nature of the Solutions session and appreciated the advisors' level of expertise. The advisors provided me with valuable business contacts and I have even been working with one of the advisors since the event. I would highly recommend Solutions to others."

John R. Sammarco | President | StepStone Strategies, LLC

"The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC is an essential resource. It would have taken me weeks of searching the net for sound, reliable answers to my questions. With their "Ask the Expert" service, I was able to talk directly with professionals working in the area of my interests and get experienced answers to all my questions."
