“Meeting with Japonica Brown, the Business Navigator, was a major turning point for my company’s future. Through the Business Navigation’s connected resources, I was able to get my product into Bacon’s Country Market and was accepted into Innovation Portal’s “The Portal Fund.” I am truly thankful for Japonica and the Mobile Chamber’s Business Navigation Department, as their help has accelerated my business growth; because of them, I have been awarded the opportunity to present to investors through the Portal Fund program. This support has been the key to expanding my business and getting my products on the shelves.” – Courtney Johnston
