As part of our capital-focused program, we add them to our exclusive digital portfolio, and help them to develop an investor relations plan, discussing options for crowdfunding campaigns when appropriate.
Throughout the 12-month program, the founders are advised by attorneys, financial analysts, and receive investor feedback throughout.
