Hear what our founders have to say

“The workshops were highly practical and directly relevant to our stage. What stood out most was the access to advisors with deep domain expertise – their insights were instrumental as we refined our U.S. go-to-market strategy.”

Loretta Chen, Founder & CEO | Smobler Studios

“Fundraising can feel like climbing a mountain. Every rejection stings and can shake your focus from the bigger mission of building a startup. That’s why having a mentor matters so much. A great mentor is part advisor, part critic, part counsellor – and above all, your biggest cheerleader. Having someone in your corner, reminding you to keep going, makes all the difference.”
