With SCORE’s support, veteran entrepreneurs like Jackson Dalton, owner of Black Box Safety, have been able to make a difference. "My Mentor, Joe, provided a thorough review of my business plan and encouraged me. He helped me identify gaps and held me accountable for my business plan. Joe was someone who I could check in with in order to keep me on track. There’s nothing to think about. The sooner you reach out to SCORE the better."
