The companies have the opportunity to leverage a large amount of resources including personally sourced mentors, speakers, subject matter experts, advisors, investors and other domain specific and startup resources. The goal of Dreamit is to help entrepreneurs achieve in 3-6 months what typically takes them 12-24 months to achieve on their own. DreamIt has launched over 300 companies since 2008.
