SCORE Mentors SE Wisconsin (Free Small Business Mentoring, Local Volunteers, Networking Workshops)

Daffodil Hill Press was founded in 2022 by four educators who saw a gap in early childhood reading materials. When they couldn’t find the books their students and colleagues needed, they started their own business to create meaningful, phonics-based books that reflect diverse families and communities. Early in their entrepreneurial journey, they turned to SCORE for business mentorship. Their mentors provided invaluable guidance, from crafting customer surveys to developing a comprehensive marketing strategy. This expert advice has been instrumental in shaping their business plan and fueling their growth. Are you ready to take your business to the next level? SCORE offers a wealth of valuable resources to help you succeed and our experienced mentors are here to guide you every step of the way. ➡ https://lnkd.in/g3ficQtv 🎥: SCORE clients Marie Mounteer and Elizabeth Hetzer, founders of Daffodil Hill Press
