"CBP's incubator program is an excellent choice for entrepreneurs.  It helped me to turn my one person marketing operation into a brand consultancy that is now playing with the big boys on the national stage.  With CBP's help we've been featured in The New York Times, and Washington Business Journal, and even have Fortune 500 clients.  Not the sort of thing I could've achieved from my basement office."- Tate Linden from Stokefire Consulting -Graduated CBPs incubator program in December 2007.
