Launching NWEN Advisors
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008The Northwest Entrepreneur Network is pleased to announce the launch of NWEN Advisors. A new program whereby NWEN will connect Seattle area entrepreneurs with business advisors from the local community. The NWEN Advisors committee will connect entrepreneurs with advisors based on common industries, skill sets, and experiences.
We are keeping the process very simple for all involved. Once the connection is made, the depth and level of the relationship is completely up to you. There are no expectations in regards to the outcome of the connections that we facilitate.
The service will be free to the larger entrepreneurial community through January 31st and, thereafter, will be free for NWEN members and university students.
There are a number of simple guidelines:
- You determine how the relationship progresses.
- This should not be used for sales prospecting. The primary purpose of both parties should be knowledge transfer and assistance.
- No fee or hourly rate will be assessed by either party to the other.
