Undoubtedly, the testimonials that matter most are from the center's clients themselves.Davis, who is a member of the advisory board of the industrial and systems engineering department, says BTC's assistance was invaluable in getting his company ready for talks with venture capitalists and angel investors. "The BTC report covered a lot of the research required to help develop viable proposals to potential investors and funding sources."
Zanardi says BTC's report is helping the company to prioritize what geographical market segments to go after and what type of customers to pursue. "BTC provides a great service to the business community," he says. "We would use them again."
Schuelke notes that since 2002, his company has achieved an annual growth rate of 30 percent. He is midway through implementing a five-stage strategy for national growth that BTC developed and will be using the center's summary report in his presentation to venture capitalist firms.
"I value the expertise, wisdom, and technical capabilities of BTC," Schuelke says. "Especially for small businesses and entrepreneurs, this service provides support, guidance, and encouragement on a very tough road to success."
