How would you describe your company?
MochaBox is a locally owned specialty coffee roasting company located in Prince George's County, Maryland. We are committed to enhancing the best quality and flavor of each coffee bean with each roast.
What was the most valuable part of your WMU experience?
Being exposed to a diverse community of individuals from different walks of life was the most valuable experience for me.
What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs?
It may be clich茅, but I would say that every new entrepreneur should just start. Most new business owners consume too much time focusing on the right time to enter the space or waiting for someone to help them with their plan. The only true way to find out what's needed to start your new venture is by doing. Start your business today!
