We owe a great debt to the volunteer mentors that helped us formulate our business plan and refine our pitch.  We won $5,000 in seed funding from <a href="http://%3Cwww.startuporangecounty.com/%3E">Startup Orange County</a> (Florida), three months of incubation at the <a href="http://%3Cwww.venturelab.ucf.edu/%3E">UCF Venture Lab</a>, 4 months of internet marking and social media consulting by <a href="http://%3Cwww.p2gdesigns.com/%3E">Pro2Go Designs</a>, 2 months of legal services by <a href="http://%3Cwww.orlandobusinesslawyer.com/%3E">The Entrepreneurship Law Firm</a>, a $500 credit for <a href="http://voicebunny.com/">VoiceBunny</a> and a subscription to <a href="http://startupthreads.com/">Startup Threads</a>.</p>
