2015 Top Gun Program Participants Interviewed for Maine Women Article
Two members of the Top Gun program’s Class of 2015 shared their experiences for the recent Maine Women article, “Aiming for success.” Kym Dakin and Abi Barnes spoke about why they wanted to sign up for the entrepreneurial development training. The Top Gun program is offered by Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development (MCED) and UMaine’s Target Technology Incubator as part of the Blackstone Accelerates Growth initiative. Participants of the entrepreneur accelerator program attend classes in Portland, Orono or Rockland and work with mentors who help them apply what they learn to accelerate growth. “It has been interesting to learn from others in the process,” Dakin said. “It’s incredibly inspiring, and I feel deeply honored to be in the room with people doing so many creative and interesting projects.”
