Because Science, Amanda Preske
The primary success I've achieved with the help of SCORE is navigating the complex process of solidifying my business plan and successfully opening the Because Science storefront.
Because Science is an innovative venture that blends science with art. We operate a retail storefront, an event space named the Craft Lab, and an in-house Circuit Breaker Lab Studio, all dedicated to sharing science through artistic expressions.
My passion for entrepreneurship lies at the intersection of science and art. This unique blend of interests inspired me to create Because Science, a space where science is accessible to everyone through artistic mediums.
What sets Because Science apart is our commitment to democratizing science. We don't just sell products; we provide experiences and education through our retail space, event venue, and studio, making science approachable and enjoyable for all.
Recognizing the gaps in my knowledge about opening and running a retail business, I turned to SCORE for their wealth of experience. Their mentors, with decades of business experience, offered the insights I needed to navigate the industry successfully.
SCORE played a crucial role in the establishment of Because Science. They provided invaluable guidance in the areas of business planning, location scouting, and lease negotiations, which were critical in the successful opening of our storefront.
My mentor, Richard Rose, brought immense experience and knowledge to the table. His guidance was instrumental in the successful execution of my business plan and the opening of the Because Science storefront.
