2009 - 2012
I was involved in the planning and, in a sense, also creation of two small, independent businesses; a music company and a photograph company. I am no longer affiliated with either of these companies; I was merely a person who went through (with the actual owner) of applying for financial aid and making clear of the companies' future business models and plans. I learned a lot about how to get a business started up, and through which contacts and agencies you have to go to get a foot in the scene.
