MODERNIZING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AUDIT

As the world changes at a rapid pace we need to modernize how we think about supporting small businesses. While trainings, mentorship, networking, bootcamps and programs are not bad, they are incomplete. 

This technical assistance audit is a chance to sit back, pause, reflect and note where you are at in this journey. It is a chance for you to understand your current reality and identify the gaps that may exist in your current strategy that may be preventing you from offering the level of support small businesses currently need.
