Testimonials
Jeff Pagano has known struggle, but he’s never given up. In the 90’s he created a custom software that found great success into the 2000’s. However a series of life events, and the changing landscape, sidelined him. Jeff came to the Lane SBDC to get back on track, and bring his software into modern relevance.
“If you have something you envision building, follow that dream,” says Jeff. It’s clear he follows his own advice. An attentive student, Jeff rose to his own challenge, but also showed great interest in his fellow student’s success. “The Business Plan Accelerator course is the best investment you can make if you’d like to dramatically improve your chances of getting funding for your business. It’s clear the instructors have refined this course over the years and have learned how to walk students step-by-step through the process of writing a great business plan.”
