Business help

As long-time, active participants in the technology and business community, we have accumulated experience, contacts and resources to help you grow your business. Our resident business experts are successful entrepreneurs, not academics or consultants. They know the challenges you face, the choices you have to make, and have already made all the mistakes you’re likely to make!

As seasoned executives with our sponsor, publicly traded, Intelligent Systems Corporation, Leland Strange, Bill Goodhew and Bonnie Herron have been involved with well over 50 technology companies. Bill and Leland have been inducted into the Georgia Technology Hall of Fame and Bonnie was recognized in 2005 as Woman of the Year in Technology for Georgia companies under $500 million. Unlike some incubator programs which smother the entrepreneurial drive with excessive structure and business consultants, we provide “just-in-time” advice - on your timetable. We work with our entrepreneurs - at no extra charge - in such areas as:

brainstorming sessions on a marketing plan or pricing model
CEO only roundtables and seminars
referrals to our "know-how" network of attorneys, HR specialists, accountants and business contacts
advice and referrals to financing sources
business plan review
presentation planning and feedback
