“SBDC has earned my respect, from the Director, Tim Murrill to the administrative staff.  They have helped me be more prolific, think outside of the box and reach for the stars!”

— Carl Vinson, Made Man Protection

This year, he received a California Dream Fund grant and was also awarded a Solano-Napa SBDC Dream Fund Support Space grant, funded by Wells Fargo, that allowed him to have office space for his business at the Solano Black Chamber of Commerce.

“The award helped me out immensely, and I learned patience and persistence through this process,” confessed Carl. 

“The (Dream Fund Award) funding gave me money to join the Chamber of Commerce for networking, and I established relationships with the police department, the sheriff department, the district attorney, and these are crucial connections in my business.”
