Good ideas, business plans and growth strategies are much more likely to succeed, and operating entities are much more likely to get to the next level when founders and senior management are paired with coaches having proven experience and the right expertise. BRIDGES’ Venture Coaches are committed to helping you build and grow your enterprise independent of its maturity by volunteering their time, experience and expertise to helping community members create fundable business plans and operate and grow entities, independent of their maturity or whether they are for profit or nonprofit.

Initially Venture Coaches will help by answering questions and helping members solve issues like finding funding, strategic channel partners and needed skill sets via private email exchanges within BRIDGES. Once you identify the coach offering the industry and expertise combination you seek, simply click on his/her name and send your message. The coach will receive notification that you have sent a private message so that he/she can respond in a timely manner. How the relationship develops beyond the initial exchange of private messages is completely up to you and your coach.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with news, success stories, problems, etc. We want to promote the former and quickly remedy the latter.
