"My sister's experience starting "Hay, Good Dog!" was also my experience to a certain degree. I helped fine tune her business plan and listened to her Hay, Good Dog! pitch as she prepared for neighborhood night."
Yes, the experience has been "something" like Kara said it would. The entrepreneurs were eager, excited, expectant yet subtly doubtful just as she was when she began her StartMe journey. About mid-way through program, the ice is broken (a few times), and the conversations become easier, the visions clearer and the confidence starts shining through. My sister's experience starting "Hay, Good Dog!" was also my experience to a certain degree. I shared in her journey in person, via phone conversations and through pictures, videos, text messages and emails. I helped fine tune her collateral and listened to her Hay, Good Dog! pitch (numerous times) as she prepared for neighborhood night. I feel like I was there! And truth is... Kara is the real reason I am "there" as a mentor this year. She believed that I had something unique to offer others like her. And so...I am here.
