Do you presently operate an under-funded young company? Need help starting and finding funding for a for-profit or not-for-profit enterprise? Then DigitalBridges2.0's Middlebury Solutions Group (MSG) is for you. MSG is now accepting applications for the fall 2008 program.

MSG offers free venture-coaching services aimed at helping early-stage and start-up enterprises get from concept to implementation. Clients get help conducting market research, opportunity assessment, and competitor analysis; developing enterprise models, marketing plans and Web-presence; and presentation coaching - including PowerPoint design and authoring. MSG is not a business plan writing service.

MSG spring clients will be selected competitively to pitch their plans to fellow entrepreneurs, institutional and angel investors, and venture consultants at the December 2008 DigitalBridges2.0 Entrepreneur's Forum. Past presentations have attracted funding interest and support. Could yours be next?
