The Entrepreneurial Institute of Washington and our partners have focused efforts on assisting small businesses one at a time. These efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in contracts, 1,000+ minutes of FREE professional education, business partnerships, formalized mentorship-protege agreements, dozens of job placements….
