Their guidance and mentorship have not only played a large part in growing my company but in my own skills as an entrepreneur. From helping me polish my presentation, to connecting me with the perfect people to present to, they have allowed me to propel the growth of my company. My experience with VNC has been invaluable and i look forward to seeing what they do for others just like me.
As a startup founder, I can honestly say that the resources available to me through ALV have made a significant impact on my ability to build, scale, and fund my growing business.
They do a tremendous job of making connections between investors and entrepreneurs, and there is no doubt we have many of our investors today only because of ACN. It is the first place I will turn in Alabama as part of any future fundraising efforts.
Con.doit pitched at the first post-COVID pitch day and had a tremendous response from the ALV community. Our pitch led to several connections that I now count among my most valuable. The ALV network stretches in many directions and is flexible enough to accommodate established companies and early startup ideas alike.
