The assistance from the WV Hive has been a big part of what has taken Pinheads from a ‘pipe dream’ to a sustainable business. For the past (four) years, WV Hive has been a trusted partner that I can lean on for training and mentorship to help me learn how to expand my customer base and plan future growth. Their help with marketing, business planning, and identifying sources and uses of capital breaks down the complicated world of business management into workable areas where we can measure and plan. The help of the Hive gives me confidence and the knowledge base I need to continue to move forward. I am eternally grateful.

Boho
My business advisor helped me to translate my vision into concrete realities and assisted me in troubleshooting so that I could focus my energies. Her encouragement and resources definitely helped offset my own inexperience and doubt– two things that plague new business owners. In order to be successful, I had to believe in myself and my vision so that I could ‘sell’ it to others.
