“We've done a lot of accelerators at this point. And this was one of the best experiences we've ever had, with the quality of the mentorships we've got, the talks, the people that we’ve met. I mean we’ve met our advisor here. My number one favorite thing about the program every week was meeting the mentors and also getting the feedback sessions.”

“We always wanted to enter Asia, and we could not have thought of a better support system and guidance that we got from the program and all the amazing mentors. Each one of them brought to the table a new perspective. How do we enter the Eastern Asian markets and all the connections the program brought in terms of, not only reaching out to clients but also investors.”

“ We as a founding team, believe in what we do, but at the same time we certainly have a blind spot and the greatest part is actually to get confronting feedback from different mentors. Get to know information and insight that wouldn't be possible without such a program.”

“The accelerator directs us in the right direction. Say, for example, the agency model might not be the best fit for us, and how we can actually create a much more scalable business model. We now have some of the mentors help some of the bridging of the connections, and so that we're much more confident in reaching those goals that we previously were able to only dream about.”
