Review №1
2023-07-31 17:41:42Cal Poly CIE has helped our business go from being a presentation of an idea on paper to a fully operational indoor vertical farm with $30K in revenue per month so far. The high caliber consulting provided by legal, accounting, banking, finance, Cal Poly professors, Cal Poly video teams, venture capital and other successful entrepreneurs has been instrumental in helping to move our company forward. Kudos to the Cal Poly CIE Team! And a big thanks to Kern Venture Group, Vidya Law Group, and the Cal Poly support teams outside the CIE. -- the team at Zeste Farms

2023-07-27 20:17:57SBDC is an invaluable resource for start ups and established businesses. The wealth of knowledge and experience from consultants is comparable to having access to business school professors in real life settings. I am so grateful for all the help All Good has received from the SBDC! Ultimately, it is rewarding that the support uplifts our customers, our team and the whole community.

2023-08-01 02:40:42The Cal Poly CIE SBDC has been such a wonderful resource. The free advisors and resources they offer are incredible and the staff is so nice and fun to work with. I highly recommend any business owner seeking advise to look into this before hiring external consultants.

The folks who run the SBDC are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to help you get the right support and resources.The SBDC connected me with expert consultants who provided guidance on many areas including legal, product dev, finance, and grants. This access to qualified consultants was a game-changer for my team.Youll be in great hands if you choose to work with the SBDC.

2023-07-27 00:58:57The SBDC has been beyond helpful! I could not have imagined how many things the SBDC has helped us with, including providing key resources, making fruitful connections and connecting us with industry expert advisors. As a result, weve won more business, closed funding rounds, been awarded a non-dilutive innovation grant, and have better and more efficient internal systems. I highly, highly recommend the Cal Poly CIE SBDC to any central coast startup, it will save you time and money, and bring you more ease and success.

From market research reports and industry insights to workshops, webinars, and networking events, the center provides a treasure trove of information to empower entrepreneurs. The library is well-stocked with business books, case studies, and access to online learning platforms that enable entrepreneurs like me to continuously learn and improve our skills.

My regular spot to work is my desk inside the Cal Poly CIE, and honestly, theres nowhere else Id rather be. Plus, since its also our local SBDC, its full of great resources for folks like us - small businesses and entrepreneurs. Do yourself a favor and drop by to learn more about the SBDC!

2023-08-16 20:29:16I began my business and working with the SBDC at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I wouldve never been able to field around the constant change of the business climate without them. They sprang into action collecting the most recent information on the PPP Loan and other resources available to businesses distributing information daily through calls, zoom and emails. They assigned me a business coach who answered questions, clarified information and advised me on how to proceed. Under the circumstances, they were available whenever I needed them and three years later continue to provide valuable resources that have helped me at every stage of my business.

2023-07-25 17:46:05We love the SBDC and all theyve provided in support, consulting and marketing for our new small business. Its a gift to have a special team of professionals and so many resources to bounce ideas off of when Im running a business without employees.
