SOCIAL: Advice on funding for a one-man enterprise?

[Geoff Davis]

There's a program in the city that pairs retired executives with people
starting businesses.  The execs provide free advice - business plan reviews,
coaching, etc.  I think it may be run through the Chamber of Commerce, but
I'm not certain.  A friend of mine who has been starting a business has been
using the service, and he's been pretty happy with it.  Let me know if
you're interested and I'll track down the details.
