March & April Trainings and Events

Upcoming Trainings and Events

Starting on April 1, we will begin another session of FastTrac TechVenture. An 8-session course, FastTrac TechVenture is designed to give technology and science-based entrepreneurs a proven framework and network of connections to help grow a great idea into the next viable innovation.

Experienced business coaches and successful entrepreneurs work together to facilitate critical teachings, guide lively small group sessions, and share practical experiences to enhance your business. Participants learn with and from their peers, creating a powerful network that continues well after the program is complete.
