What our Alumni think
John Shen, Xencio
“In the very beginning we were making a lot of assumptions with our problem-solutions. The workshops really, really helped us to target our product to really solve problems for local businesses. I think it’s a really good program, to prepare ourselves for the European market!”
David Coates, CEO, Chooter
“ELEVATE is structured to make sure that you progress through each of the stages, that you know where you are at each stage and that you come out of the program a much more complete business”
Pallavi Gupta, Co-Founder, Espresso Labs
“Understanding the people is very important and that’s where ELEVATE helped us the most. Understanding what our clients need and how to tweak the product, what is the perfect mixture we need to have in the product & how we can make it valuable, specifically for the European market”
David Turewicz, CEO, Eastcode
“It was great that you have so many different mentors you can rely on, who you can ask about different things, who help you in evaluating every little part about your business”
