10KSB Alumni and Highlights

10KSB
Covesa Gragg
"The growth plan I created while in 10KSB prepared me for the unexpected outcomes of COVID-19. I planned to expand; I just had not considered expanding digitally." - Covesa Gragg | Owner | Covesa Kelly Events | Valley View
Tom Hearn
“My biggest takeaway was learning how to digest and overcome fear. If you can spare the time, you’re going to get a well-rounded business education that can help remove hurdles to growth. It’s well worth it.” - Tom Hearn | Owner and General Manager | Hearn Plumbing, Heating and Air | Madison
Andrew Rainey
“Without taking the advice I received in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, I think we would have gone out of business.” - Andrew Rainey | Chief Pickling Officer | Randy’s Pickles | Cleveland
Ariane Kirkpatrick
“Going through the program, you build a better sense of confidence. You become more confident in your ability to think on a strategic level — to develop your vision for your business and execute it.” - Ariane Kirkpatrick | President and CEO | The AKA Team | Cleveland
Ben Bebenroth
"10KSB put me in the league of steering my company instead of just hanging on for dear life. It turned me into a business owner." - Ben Bebenroth | Chef and Owner |Spice Companies | Cleveland
Dr. Martina Moore
"I learned how to keep up with our growth. I take time every day to think about how to stay ahead of the growth and how to make calculated next steps." - Dr. Martina Moore | President | Moore Counseling and Mediation Services | Euclid
Heidi Murphy
"10KSB came at the perfect time because I went from being an employee to owning a business with partners. The program provided a great overview of all aspects of running a business." - Heidi Murphy | Principal and Vice President of Finance | Warwick Communications | Broadview Heights
Julie Brandle
"For me, peer mentoring was the strongest piece. We learned together how to work through issues and bounce ideas off of each other." - Julie Brandle | President and Founder | Metis Construction Services | Kent
Margy Judd
"Start each day with a plan. Every morning, my team discusses what they are working on and how we can support each other." - Margy Judd | President | Executive Arrangements | Cleveland
Sean Watterson
"I gained the knowledge and the tools to run the business by the numbers — as well as the confidence to expand our operations — from my interactions with the other small-business owners in the room." - Sean Watterson | Owner | Happy Dog | Cleveland
