ENTREPRENEUR

Overview

In 2002, AdvantageWest established the Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council (BREC) to better serve the entrepreneurs in our 23-county region. 

The Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council supports entrepreneurs through the following four focus areas: education, mentoring and networking, communications and capital formation. BREC meets regularly, and provides opportunities for qualified entrepreneurial businesses to present plans before a group of local investors, the Blue Ridge Angel Investors Network (BRAIN).

For more information about entrepreneur development or capital investing visit the BREC and BRAIN websites.

AdvantageWest also established the Certified Entrepreneurial Community® program. To learn more, visit the CEC website.
