QUOTES

"It's very important for early stage founders, especially for first-time founders, to be enrolled in and find the right program that fits their requirements."

"It's a go for a person who's starting fresh. Be stress-free on so many things that you don't have answers to and just focus on building what you came out to do."

"We were shortlisted among so many other ideas and founders. So basically, they've done part of their job, which is filtering out and choosing the right startups."

"For first-time founders, solo founders, it's a no-brainer. You gotta go, look back, just go."

"Four eyes are better than to six or better. Because no matter how the plan is great on paper, when you come to execute, you face a lot of problems on daily basis. So you always need more people to kind of look at what you're doing kind of guide you in a certain way."

"So in one year, you have access to many peoples that can help you and the different stages that you're in, because at the beginning, your your challenges are much more different than six months in when you're already starting to gain some traction."
