What our participants have to say….
“The program has helped me think seriously about what I should be focusing on, where I should be putting my attention at various stages and helping me focus on what I really want to achieve in my business. It helped me connect the practical stuff and put it into some sort of framework, identify the markets we are currently in and where we want to be placed in the future.”
— Jenny Khan - The Unexpected Guest. Award Winning Muesli Snack-Bars bursting with Indigenous Superfoods.
“The program helped me frame what I am trying to do as a business and understand where to go for investment. To think about where we want to be in seven years and have that framework in mind instead of just looking at today."
— Michael Dickerson - Gambarra, Internet of Things (IOT) Technology Solutions Company with Global Aspirations
