RAIN, which is run by experienced entrepreneurs and angel investors, connects entrepreneurs with strategic resources for launching and scaling business ventures, including mentor connections, educational and training programs, and access to capital. RAIN builds entrepreneurial ecosystems in partnership with cities, counties, the State, foundations, and private funders.
