YSN Founder Gets Help from SCORE
Jennifer Kushell

What would you say about SCORE?
When I started YSN in 1993-94, we built a biz plan and needed to raise money. We spent forever on a plan and seeking angel funding. We finally went to SCORE where a retired accountant helped us understand the nuts and bolts of what investors would be looking for.

-Jennifer Kushell, YSN Founder
