Starting a business is rarely a neat and tidy process
The journey of a startup can take many forms. It’s easy to get swept away in the stories of certain startups that seem to have it all going for them — the great idea, the polished elevator speech, a shelf full of awards from pitch competitions.
Rarely is it that neat and tidy. Most entrepreneurs have a messy road. There are false starts and stops. There is the uncomfortable business of asking for money from economic development organizations, TIF committees, angel investors — or worse, friends and family. Most true entrepreneurs have more stories of failure than success.
In this issue, our team of writers took a more in-depth look at the stories of entrepreneurs and how their startups developed.
I want to thank staff writers Laurie Schreiber, Renee Cordes and Alexis Wells, as well as Digital Editor Ann Fisher, for taking on stories. We also brought J. Craig Anderson into the mix. A mix of photographers contributed to this issue: Tim Greenway, Fred Field, Jim Neuger and Michael D. Wilson, who is new to working with Mainebiz. Publisher Andrea Tetzlaff marshaled the sales team, which did a great job finding advertisers and sponsors. Finally, I want to thank Matt Selva, our art director, who put all of this into an organized, visually appealing package.
