Phoenix’s Better Business Bureau (BBB)

At the beginning of this year, we invited several organizations that support start-ups and business here in Phoenix, to share with the Venture Café Phoenix audience their programs and resources. One of these groups was the Phoenix Better Business Bureau.  Representing the BBB was Faustine Chan, their Community and Business Program Director. Read on about Faustine’s first impressions of Venture Café and be sure to connect with her for more info on resources for your business.
