In this episode Gabriela Ariana Campoverde sits down with Carolyn Katz, a SCORE volunteer and former banker, venture capitalist and consultant to learn more about how this organization works with small business owners. SCORE is the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors and is dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals. Since 1964, they have provided education and mentorship to more than 11 million entrepreneurs.
SCORE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Thanks to the generous support from the SBA and because of the selfless contributions of our more than 10,000 dedicated volunteers, they can offer their services at no cost. For many small business ownership is a way for income mobility, and we greatly admire the work that SCORE has committed to, and the impact it has made over the years.
You will hear all about how SCORE works with lenders like community development financial institutions or CDFIs, the entrepreneurial success stories Carolyn has witnessed firsthand and all about coaching small businesses.
