High Growth Ventures and the Mentors that Inspire Success
Mentorship is a two-way street, but with the North Atlanta Venturing Mentoring Program (NAV) – it’s a multiple-lane highway.
NAV is changing the way startups do business. Principled and trained off the MIT Venture Mentoring Service (VMS), this unique program gives entrepreneurs the guidance they need to succeed through the power of team-based mentoring.
Led by the Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED), NAV is the first of its kind in the state of Georgia. The program was made possible through the Cherokee By Choice initiative – a five-year results-driven public/private partnership aimed at reinforcing Cherokee’s role as a leader in economic development.
NAV is a program of Fresh Start Cherokee, the entrepreneurship initiative of COED.
“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.”
