关于我们
The Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED) announces the launch of the North Atlanta Venture Mentoring Service (NAV) today, July 1, 2019. Headquartered in Cherokee, NAV represents Georgia’s first entrepreneur mentorship program principled and trained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Venture Mentoring Service (VMS). MIT VMS has a proven 20-year track record operating its program and has shared its mentoring model with organizations in 23 countries. NAV represents the 90th sister program of MIT VMS. NAV harnesses the expertise of mentors with proven skills and experience to guide startups toward success. Unlike many mentorship programs, NAV takes a team-based approach to mentorship. NAV was made possible through the Cherokee By Choice initiative – a five-year results-driven public/private partnership aimed at reinforcing Cherokee’s role a leader in economic development.

We are so excited to welcome Laurie to our NAV Mentor team! Here's to giving back to a thriving business community – thanks for all you do!
?? Thrilled to kick off my journey as an official mentor with the Cherokee Office of Economic Development's ("COED") North Atlanta Venture (NAV) Mentoring Service—the first MIT VMS ("Venture Mentoring Service") program in Georgia! ?? A huge shoutout to COED for curating an impressive, diverse group of mentors and collaborating with Kennesaw State University’s HatchBridge Incubator (Colin Ake) and Industry Engagement teams. This morning’s pitches from two inspiring founders were a testament to the innovation and entrepreneurial energy thriving in Northwest Atlanta. The momentum here is undeniable, and I’m excited to be part of building a dynamic ecosystem that supports local startups and drives economic growth. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries and unlocking potential in our community! ???? #Entrepreneurship #Mentorship #EconomicDevelopment #Innovation #NorthwestAtlanta #Startups

Sara E. Davis, Ph.D. dropping some ?? yesterday morning! We had our last Venture meetup of the year yesterday for NAV, a program I am so honored to be a part of in my community. About NAV: NAV is Georgia’s first entrepreneur mentorship program, principled and trained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Venture Mentoring Service (VMS). NAV is based on the belief that a venture is far more likely to thrive when an entrepreneur or small business can draw on the advice and guidance of a diverse group of mentors with proven skills and experience.

Mentors know the value of mentorship. ????But do they know the value of team-based mentorship for entrepreneurs? Here are three values of team-based mentoring to the mentor: ????Learn from and provide excellent sounding boards for each other (Diverse Collaboration). ???? Share the weight of mentoring (Teamwork). ???? Develop meaningful relationships with your peers (Community). After 5 years, our North Atlanta Venture (NAV) Mentoring Service is offering real and meaningful value to mentors. NAV is principled and trained by the successful MIT VMS (Venture Mentoring Service) program and the only one of its kind in Georgia.

Check out NAV Venture Three Brothers Painting for #HispanicHeritageMonth!
Yesterday marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th each year. Last year, we were honored to be featured as part of Cherokee Office of Economic Development's series on local Hispanic-owned businesses. We're ongoing supporters (and participants!) of COED's incredible programs for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and as Oscar said last year, "We have been very intentional about being involved in our community, and that is something that is hugely important for me personally, as well as my business. We always try to give back because I grew up here – Woodstock is my home."
