Welcome to our Newest Members of the EEC!
We have been busy this month. The EEC has added 3 new clients. 


CircleBack Lending, is a slightly different approach for the EEC, marrying a couple of our successful programs. We are calling them our "Domestic" Soft Landing Program. CircleBack Lending was founded a couple of years ago in Boca Raton, Florida to provide Consumer Loans to customers with Prime & Super Prime FICO scores, using Institutional Investors to provide the funding. With the talent in the banking industry here in Delaware, Scott Lascelles, Chief Marketing Officer, is looking to establish a base of operations here in New Castle County, for his Marketing Team, Programmers  & Developers and perhaps even a Call Center. CircleBack was referred to the EEC by Joe Zilcosky with DEDO. 


Karin Roseman, founder of Deer Valley Danes, LLC has joined the EEC Virtual Incubator Program. Deer Valley Danes was the 2015 Winner of the Swim With the Sharks Video Pitch Competition. Deer Valley Danes is a distributor for Oma's Pride Raw Dog Food, O'Paws Freeze Dried Dog food and manufacturer of DVD homemade hand cut treats for dogs and cats. Their home base is Greenville, Delaware and offer free delivery to New Castle County. They travel to dog related events to show & sell their product, and it is available online on their own website and Amazon. 



Direct Mobile Transit

Direct Mobile Transit, led by brothers Michael and Charles Bantum, addresses the growing need for specialized transportation in Delaware. They provide wheelchair accessible transportation to destinations that include healthcare and non-healthcare related appointments.
