SoyaWax Intl. Earns EDC New Business Creation Award

"The Entrepreneurial Development Center is a unique and valuable business development resource in Iowa." said SoyaWax Founder and Predident Mike Richards, "In over thirty years of my entrepreneurial career, I can enthusiastically say that I have never been involved in a start-up where we had such a breadth and depth of on-demand, high quality mentoring, technical, and strategic assistance. The EDC has been inspirationally effective in helping us to fast-track our business growth."

All members of the SoyaWax International management team were on hand at the awards ceremony and networking event.

Over 170 entrepreneurs, community leaders, vendors and investors were in attendance.

"The number and diversity of the folks attending this 5th anniversary event are a testament to just how widely recognized and appreciative we all are that Curt Nelson and his staff have dedicated their efforts to developing such a wealth of business acceleration services for Iowa entrepreneurs," said SoyaWax founder and soywax inventor Mike Richards.

SoyaWax International has been a client of the EDC for five months. During that time, the EDC has provided exceptional service. "Having been a core team member of various high tech start-ups, I know that one of the hardest challenges for a new business is growing the management team." said Mike Richards, "Under the time crunch and limited resources of a start-up, it often happens that you bring the wrong person on board too early or you take who you can get rather than who you need. The EDC's 'virtual executive' service has proved invaluable to us. Glenn Wiltgen, our EDC-supplied virtual CFO has been instrumental in helping us to structure our financing and negotiate our local banking relations."
