Mentoring Team
Companies accepted into the program are matched with a mentoring team which includes a lead as well as a marketing and finance expert. Our network of mentors is made up of experienced entrepreneurs, former executives and experts across several business industries.
Benefits of being a “SSDR company”
Companies benefit from exposure to the community, discounts entrepreneur education workshops, connections to people who can assist with financial models and market research, opportunities to participate in local promotional events and most importantly, access to the vast network of community leaders within the southwest Dallas region.
The Process
The mentoring process is flexible and the length of the program is tailored to each company’s individual needs and goals. Throughout the program, a company’s progress is assessed through panel presentations and feedback. To complete the program, the company must “pass” several essential milestones: marketing, finance, and potential investors. At the final stage, it is determined whether the company “graduates” and is ready for investment or needs additional coaching in Business 101.
