We do this by creating social networking opportunities that link entrepreneurs with their peers and with resource providers offering a variety of services and forms of assistance.  Initial efforts will utilize several methods that facilitate discussions and networking including: this web site, GuideMyBusiness blog, Facebook and the TCRE newsletter (see links in the right frame).  We just hope that at least one of these venues will prompt you to ask for the assistance you need, to comment on the ideas of others and to contribute from your knowledge and experiences of business venture development.  Please feel free to suggest other ways we can bring entrepreneurs together both with other entrepreneurs and with those providing technical assistance. 

Business, community, and economic development information is extremely plentiful on the internet.  There is no need to duplicate what others have created.  Our goal for TCRE.org is to add value to other sites, fill in the gaps as we all find them, and help you utilize more fully the information you do find.  We also want to provide continuing education opportunities in the form of learning lessons, webinars, fact sheets and blog posts.  We also hope this site will better prepare technical assistance providers for their roles in helping entrepreneurs.
