“When someone decides to become an entrepreneur, it typically becomes so much more than creating a great business or solving a need - it often becomes a journey of self-awareness, grit, determination and perseverance. Great mentors along that journey make all the difference. I like to think of mentors a bit like the great mountain Sherpas of the Himalayas, guiding entrepreneurs toward the right paths, around potential pitfalls, and in the end, sit at the top of the mountain with you when the entrepreneur is successful! To continue, using that analogy, VACE reminds me of the Base Camp, where one goes to get their supplies, their maps, meet their mentors and get their gear before heading out on that perilous journey – in that way VACE serves the critical role of preparing entrepreneurs for the journey." -Silas Deane | email: sdeane@vendengine.com
