“Thanks to Zach Steffen and the Mohawk Valley SBDC, I was able to successfully access and navigate the programs available to help businesses like mine during this incredibly difficult time. Just having someone to speak with (an actual human) who is knowledgeable on the programs was more helpful than I can ever express. It gave me peace of mind that no matter how bad things got there would be help and resources available. The Mohawk Valley SBDC is a tremendous asset to business owners in the Mohawk Valley. Working with them has made my business better and my life easier.”

“Working with the SBDC was seamless, from initial contact, zoom meetings, putting together financial projections to the final business plan. The support and final product were professional and high quality; even the bank commented on this in review of the business plan. I would recommend working with the SBDC to anyone looking to get support in starting a business.”

You really learn a lot in the 10 week cohort at the thINCubator. I was able to refine my idea to a solid starting point in that time frame, along with getting some customers. I would highly suggest getting involved with the thINCubator If you have an vision you are passionate about, want to see your work pay off, and get a great experience.

Thank you so much for coming in to talk with our students at JFK. It was an eye opening experience for the students to hear how to take their prototype and turn it into a product. Your information will help guide them along in this process. They won the project award and received a perfect score on that part that includes, research, presentation and innovative solution/invention. They placed 6th out of 24 teams in the robotic games. They qualified for the championships at SUNY PI on January 16th. The judges couldn’t think of any questions because the students addressed everything in their 5 minute presentation. This is in part to you for all of your help! Very excited for the kids!
