Extremely valuable and useful...


I urge small businesses to find programs like MEWS+ to connect with other small businesses, find resources, and remember that you’re not alone. I was lucky enough to get accepted into the MEWS+ StartUpMX business incubator program very early on in my journey. The information and resources I gained from that program were extremely valuable and still prove useful.
