I have been a client of the Innovation Center since the early development of my product and business.

I have gotten invaluable advice and guidance from Innovation Center staff that has helped me keep the appropriate focus and actions on the critical stages of the development of my product. Entrepreneurs can always use guidance from an honest mentor that has no vested interest in the project. I found this and more at the Innovation Center!

Rosanne Clementi, Developer, Pad Go Round

The Innovation Center has been great for our organization.

We are a fast growing start-up and the fog of everyday business can challenge your long-term focus. Our coaches have been excellent - helping us focus on top priorities while setting achievable long-term and short-term goals.
