The Innovation Center is out dated, the ONLY true resource is upstairs the Business Development Center and The Procurement Office.The classes that are offered there are not in-depth and they do not provide useful information that can be implemented immediately. Everything is basic and can be retrieved from the internet. Classes are full of Steve stories what all he has accomplished. He should be RETIRED! The founders should do research of TRUE success stories and should reevaluate how they can be a true resource center. Most of their employees are older and have old ways of thinking, they do not offer any type of classes, resources, and education to actually help people understand what today's business model and market place is calling for. The advantage is the Business Development Center and the Procurement Office has alot of resources and tools that you can not get any where else in this area so if you are a start up it is good to consult the Business Development Center for some information and resources especially if you need demographic info for a location you are interested in.If you need the Business Development Center at the Innovation Center see Connie Whit she has a really great attitude towards helping from my experience the guy there was very stand offish when I assisted he could help me he directed me towards Connie Whit, unsure if that was a I am a woman thing or a Black Woman thing or a I help who I want thing. The ONE review they have is by a Business inside the Innovation Center that revised their site and added themselves as a partner to get more local business so the one review they do have is not a honest one. I had an office there, I also have worked with the Business Owner that wrote the one review so I Know. I have personally watched them go all in to help who they want to help. I requested a letter to show I had been to all of their classes, Steve response was for what? to get funding, He took his time sending it and the email did not even have a subject line he acted as if he did NOT want to do. But go to any of these other places for assistance and the first thing they ask you have you taken the classes at the innovation center? As far as the MS Gulf Coast goes people do refer to the Innovation Center as the first resource for start ups for those who even know about them! Their marketing is awful, their website for events and other information is rarely updated, go see what the secretary is doing in the day time. They act like that is their center they all have had free rides for years, they get to collect checks and get education funded by the Innovation Center only for them to do what ? and help who? Those are the questions that needs to be answered. IF the secretary Patty wanted to start a business I can guarantee you should would be up and running in no time but not because of her own value or what she knows it would be because of who she knows! That is my point! Go see for yourself and leave a review IF they were helpful to you at all or NOT!Score and Mr. Lance at SBA they will give you mentorship, data and real time information and point you in the right directions.
