"SCORE has been an asset to Kombuchick: A Kombucha Bar & Microbrewery Co. Developing a working relationship with our mentor has allowed us to set reachable goals with doable objectives over the course of a few months. It was quite daunting to embark on a business endeavor in a field that's still relatively new to our market. SCORE helped us embrace this challenge strategically and effectively!"
