Strome Business Minute With Dr. Jeff Tanner

I’m Jeff Tanner, Dean of the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University and this is a Strome Business Minute. SVT, a robotics programming company, has grown significantly since I first met them as part of 757 Accelerate. 757 Accelerate is a program funded in part by Go Virginia that provides coaching and training to entrepreneurs who have started a company but need to accelerate their growth. The program was developed to keep start-ups here in our area, rather than leave to find help and funding in other cities. SVT just opened a six thousand square foot production facility in Ghent, sharing a building with Troopster, another 757 Accelerate graduate. SVT employs seven people locally and three elsewhere, and plans to double in twenty twenty, which is exactly the type of growth envisioned when 757 Accelerate was created.
