What our founders say...

"Of all the companies, VC's, advisors and mentors we have worked with on our journey growing our startup, [this] has been the most useful, inspirational, educational and provided the most relevant support. This is the most important community we've been privileged enough to be a part of!"

"This programme enabled us to benchmark growth in a community of startups. Alongside investors being involved, they helped us accelerate our transformation from idea into a business where healthy internal competition was a great motivator. The dialogue with their ecosystem contributed to achieving several innovation awards and thereby financing. They're fantastic!"
