"I wanted to start a business in Maine and I approached SCORE to guide me. I was counseled on how to start a business and write a business plan"
Maine is fast becoming a thriving haven for small high tech businesses. The Portland area provides a job pool of recent technology graduates and returning experienced IT specialists. Offer that combination to an entrepreneur like Ashok Nalamalapu and you have the basis for business success.
