Successful NVA Company Founder Has a Message for Aspiring Auburn Entrepreneurs. “You have literally everything you need right here at Auburn, thanks to the New Venture Accelerator and the expanding entrepreneurial curriculum at the Harbert College of Business.”? Aaron Contreras, Managing Partner of?Volcanica Coffee, a Suwanee, Georgia-based specialty coffee company he co-founded, is back at Auburn working to complete his degree after leaving the Harbert College of Business to successfully pursue multiple start-up opportunities almost ten years ago.? Contreras points to the tremendous portfolio of expertise, facilities and resources available today to Auburn students, faculty and local area businesspeople as a critical difference from back when he was first at Auburn. “If I had access to the extraordinary expertise and guidance I am currently receiving from NVA Director Lou Bifano, Entrepreneurs-in Residence Scott McGlon, Ward Swift, Greg Cessna, Barry Thomasson and others – not to mention all the business support services the NVA offers students – I definitely would have stayed in school myself.” Read all about Contreras’ journey here?https://lnkd.in/eVaDAagE?and follow us for more to come. #Enrepreneurship #Auburn #NewVentures #Business #Coffee #Trade #Imports #StartUps #Investors #Capital #CentralAmerica
