What People Are Saying
When I started the Fast Trac program, I was thrilled to find out that Derrick was one of the facilitators. Derrick showed up ready to engage and instruct and challenge our minds. He has a charismatic way of relating to students and I consider myself lucky to have had Derrick as an instructor. I've taken a number of courses at [NYC Business Solutions] and they've all offered relevant, valuable knowledge helpful to anyone starting or running a small business. For me, the courses that were facilitated by Derrick in particular, were the most informative, engaging and valuable ones.
Derrick B Webster, is one of the most creative, informative and meticulous design/ marketing experts that I've had the pleasure to learn from. Derrick's attributes on fund raising, and sealing the deal, has made him a vital part of the Kauffman Fasttrac New Venture program. Derrick is a wonderful facilitator and consultant and it has been a wonderful experience to learn from him.
As a FastTrac NewVenture participant, I appreciated Derrick's clear and focused approach to explaining business principles. He also went "above and beyond", introducing us to additional frameworks that are helping me to better think through how to operate my business.
[D. Bernard Webster's] Business Plan Course was one of the best business courses I ever had. Mr. Webster inspired me with both real world practices and business planning knowledge. I felt so ready and happy to learn new things every time I stepped into the classroom. He was just like the practice professors from my Syracuse University graduate program, elaborating theories with personal hands on experiences. From building businesses ground zero, from marketing, operation to finance management.
