Tim Feiss, Marine veteran and owner of Green Bay Ghost Tours and 'Night Shades Paranormal Museum' shared that, "My SCORE mentor, Robert Jahnke, has been a great asset to my success. He is one of those individuals who goes above and beyond to help people in their business pursuits, and I am so glad SCORE has great people like Bob to help small business owners with their needs. The best part is, I also made a great friend, who is truly willing to help."
Tim's SCORE Mentor and fellow veteran, Robert Jahnke, shared that he began working with Tim on his business plan 10 years ago, and they have stayed in touch ever since.
The Mentor Match portal connects military members and veterans with a cohort of SCORE's experienced business mentors who are also U.S. veterans.
The Veterans Fast Launch workshops are being held virtually over the next few months. Aspiring business owners are invited to register for the upcoming Nov 10 and Nov 11 sessions.
Payton Iheme, U.S. Public Policy Manager at Facebook shares that, "Veterans and the military use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family.
