FastTrac ®
CED's FastTrac® is an entrepreneurial training program that addresses the needs of start-up entrepreneurs practicing and refining their business pitches and seeking to grow high-tech or high-growth companies. Attendees receive one-on-one coaching from CEOs and business executives; hear presentations from successful entrepreneurs; and receive an opportunity to present their business ideas to a panel of angel investors and venture capitalists.
Venture Mentoring Service (VMS)
The CED VMS supports innovation and entrepreneurial activity by matching entrepreneurs with skilled volunteer mentors. The program uses a team mentoring approach with groups of 3 to 4 mentors sitting with entrepreneur(s) in sessions that provide practical, day-to-day professional advice, coaching and action plans.
