Daryl Alexander

What would you say about your SCORE counselor?
Jim felt my passion and sincerity, but he was very frank. Jim was no longer just a counselor, but a teacher as well. He continually kept me focused on developing a sound strategy.

Daryl Alexander's mentoring helped him gain $250,000 in start-up funding.
