In life, the most precious is often free, so true with SCORE. Over the past couple of years, while I was in the transition stage of my career, I have attended several seminars offered by SCORE. The speakers are amazingly knowledgeable, kind and willing to help. I have booked appointments with for business and law consultation, immensely helpful. Rare to have such warmed-hearted genuine help from experts for free. very thankful indeed.
SCORE brings professionals from different life backgrounds and avenues, which basically narrows down to what really matters, how to grow your business idea based on experience. We had an incredible consultation with two mentors, Naval and Nadera, who added so much knowledge to our business plan preparation. Dont hesitate doing a mentoring session. Its free and people are so willing to help. We loved it! Thank you SCORE!
Naval Mullan and Peter Harris were able to provide insight to our issue. Their ability to effectively communicate their experience to our particular questions was very helpful. Great to get different perspectives for our situation.Additionally, they provided access to an additional resource that has already been extremely beneficial to us.Patient, never felt rushed.Above and beyond. Thank You.
What an honor to have access to such expertise. An incredible organization with stellar professionals who are leaders in their fields. Thank you thank you for your time and wisdom
Ted and Doug are very knowledgeable on helping me set up my new business, giving me pointers and advice and steps to achieve what I want to do. Attending seminars online is my next task.I will learn as I go and will contact them soon for more advice.
Free work shop. For me, first introduction to current digital marketing terminology that I had never heard before. Presenter definitely knows her subject. Appropriate *overview* of what to consider if you are thinking about (or have already started) a business. Yes, I do recommend this workshop. Thank you, SCORE Silicon Valley.
Thank you Frank for introducing David. I am working on the tips that he gave me to advertise my business. I felt confident after speaking with him to move on with my business. I am very thankful for the time you took to advise me.
Have not gotten any help from this program. I would like to sale bird houses and cant get a loan or help
As an an owner of a environment non-profit any and all resources are welcome. The SV Score team is diverse and extremely knowledgeable. I reside in Florida and having the virtual seminar are a game changer for me and my organization. Thank you for all the opportunities.
Im grateful for the support of my SCORE mentors! Ive had two meetings so far, to get help with finance and accounting questions. My mentors listened attentively and helped me find the resources I needed.
If you have a business you are planning to scale to hundreds of new leads a day, SCORE is a good fit. If you are an artist trying to get large commissions (and realistically, each one will take at least a week to complete) dont waste your time.
Very infromative, Bharat and Ken came up with some new ideas and suggestions.It is good to talk to real business experienced folks
SCORE Mentors of the Silicon Valley has helped me in the past gain guidance and direction with my business practices. They have hosted webinars and I have been able to attend one so far and it was very informative. The admin spoke about gaining funding and all the facets of bank applications, different government programs, and partnerships as well as crowd funding. They provided a page full of links for crowd funding. Also, a pro tip was to have multiple financial plans prior to applying! Great stuff! Thanks so much!
Excellent resources and guidance for small business owners at no charge. This means I can seek the professional, quality guidance I need without worrying about balancing it within my business cash flow. Thank you.
Great, friendly people, helpful advice, what an amazing free service, thanks ! Highly recommended.
Neal was a great teacher. I got a lot of good ideas and direction from this workshop. thank you.
I attended an online Webinar on PPP and Tax tips presented by tax pros: Mr Chris Wycoco and Juan Turrubiartes on 2/5/21. I got a lot of useful info on the subject. I highly recommend SCORE for small business support and success !!
I recommend the SCORE Mentors Silicon Valley to people who wanted to start business to have this information for future reference and avoid the pitfalls. Thank you.
Huge set of different aspects for grant writing are covered
I went to a Social Media Marketing Workshop at SCORE. The instructor was Tracey Lee Davis and she was fantastic. She is knowledgable. I highly recommend this workshop for small business owners or nonprofits that are looking to start marketing on social media. It is definitely a beginner course that gives the pros and cons of each platform and how to maximize your reach in each one. I am curious about the Email Marketing Workshop that is coming up so hopefully I will go to that one next.
They are awesome!!!
Great place to learn if you want to start your own business or setup a social media. Lessons range from introduction to basic. You wont learn hands on, but may take a few good things that may help flourish your business.
Amazing group of highly qualified business consultants who volunteer for free!
I found the expertise of the mentors was invaluable. I was able to bounce ideas off of them and confirm that my approach was in the ball park. They also were able to provide insight on a couple of issues I had overlooked. I can not say enough about the value of this resource for new business startups. GOOD JOB SCORE. I intend to contact them again in the future before making any critical decisions.
