"I cannot say enough about the invaluable experience I received being coached by the ECenter. I grew immeasurably in all areas of entrepreneurship including developing my business strategy, constructing my financial model, learning presentation skills and creating the documents, videos, and pitch needed for a scalable company. I do not have a business background, and the ECenter met me where I was at and believed in me, while also providing me with the tools and guidance needed."
