“Aviatra Accelerators has been an amazing experience for me and has definitely taught me a lot about my business. For the past two and half years, I’ve been working in my business instead of on it. I have done everything myself, and even though we have been successful, it has limited my growth ability. Now, not only do I have the skills to better manage and grow my business, but I also have a great network of people that has and will continue to help me grow. —Stephanie Tieman, Aviatra Graduate, Spring 2017
