Network Performance Systems Selected by Goldman Sachs to Participate in their “10,000 Small Businesses” Program

August 2, 2010-  Network Performance Performance made the final list of 30 small businesses in the Greater Los Angeles area to participate in Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. 10,000 Small Businesses is a $500 million initiative to unlock the growth and job-creation potential of 10,000 small businesses across the United States through greater access to business education, financial capital, and business support services. It is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that this combination of education, capital, and support services best addresses the barriers to growth for small businesses. The program is now operating in the greater Los Angeles area and in New York and will expand to communities across the country.

Through the support of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, business owners selected to participate in 10,000 Small Businesses with a full scholarship covering tuition and program materials.  The program commences in August 2010 and completes December 2010 with classes held at Long Beach City College.
