Why should I contribute?

Launching or growing a business can be complicated and overwhelming. The many factors involved - money, team, technology, marketing, legal, accounting - cause many people who want to be entrepreneurs and business owners to forego the opportunity to invest in their own talents, skills, and ideas. Even worse, some people count themselves out before fully exploring or understanding their options. Mentors play an integral part of helping Black Connect members who aspire to launch or a business venture, but need a roadmap to achieving their goals.
