The SEED SPOT team is thankful for SO many things this holiday season! We narrowed it down to our top seven for you to peruse before turning on your out-of-office message this Thanksgiving:
1. “I am thankful that so many entrepreneurs have trusted us to help them start dreaming bigger. Over 550 impact-driven people (and counting) have chosen SEED SPOT as the place to start creating their business to improve lives around with the world.” – Duane Rollins, National Director of Product and Impact
