Montana’s women paving entrepreneurial path

"there’s no better place to start a new business."

Montana’s rural landscape is much different from start up hubs like San Francisco and Seattle. But Michelle Hertel and her husband Matt, chose Big Sky country to start their own business "Pocket NC."

They build what’s called a Small CNC Mill. It’s a machine that starts with a block of raw material and carves a part out of the block. They can be used to make jewelry, for education, and many other uses.

"There’s these machines that are usually large and used in big shops. So it makes sense to learn on a smaller machine that costs less money and isn’t as dangerous to use," said Hertel.

And Hertel says there’s no better place to start a new business.
