For the last 3 weeks West CEO students have been using the resources from SBDC and a Sauk Valley Bank visit, along with knowledge picked up during their class business, experience with business model canvas, and their own research. Add in dedicated mentors and students have all they need to lay out a great plan. Next week will bring more help with 9 professionals each scrutinizing two plans and grilling the owners. The goal is to be ready for pitch day and loan requests by March 11th! Friday Mentor Day is always the best!
