Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council
 The Blue Ridge Entrepreneurial Council, or BREC, is a nurturing organization for entrepreneurs in western North Carolina that focuses on education, networking and mentoring, communications and capital formation. BREC has helped local businesses raise capital, brought private equity investors to western North Carolina to evaluate businesses, hosted venture capital conferences in Asheville, and recruited businesses with high-growth potential to the region.
BREC is a program of the AdvantageWest Economic Development Group and was established shortly before BRAIN was founded. The two organizations have frequent interaction so that members of both may benefit.
BREC holds monthly general membership meetings for networking and education, and quarterly investment meetings in conjunction with BRAIN. Entrepreneurs wanting to connect to support services for entrepreneurs need only complete a simple referral form on the BREC web site.
