How We Help

Testimonials

Oasis

EDC has helped us think strategically about how to grow the grocery store side of our business. The good advice and counsel has been so important and it’s good to know EDC is there in our corner. The team has a high level of knowledge in any subject we needed--from marketing, branding to distribution of product and more. Oasis Falafel is where it is thanks to the help from EDC.

Co-Founder

Stratafolio

We have worked with EDC since we were in the customer discovery stage. This past year, as we moved into more strategy and sales, the EDC continues to be our mainstay of support. We rely heavily on the team at EDC for sales advice, marketing advice, fundraising and strategy. We are grateful to have such a great resource in our backyard!

Viewpoint Molecular Targeting

Working with EDC means that we always have someone we can bounce things off of–a sounding board of business professionals to round out our team of scientists. The EDC is great about providing templates and processes that we can use to polish the business and wouldn’t otherwise have access to. I view EDC as a helping hand versus an educational program. It feels like EDC is a partner to help us grow our business.
