“Being part of the Ibero Business Center business plan program and winning the pitch competition has had a tremendous impact on me in regards to believing in myself and my vision when the doubt tries to come creeping in. The recognition from the judges and their belief in the idea for the successful growth potential of the business definitely helps keeps me going. Ibero Business Center is a program and great resource to have in the toolbox because it allows you to connect with people you wouldn’t otherwise. People who want to see you win. Like-mind people in your corner which you need. The guest speakers are beneficial as well because they are genuinely interested in you and your business and they are there to help.”
