Testimonials

"When I signed up for iAccelerate, my company was already in good shape. Still, I got a confirmation that now, I’m doing it right. I also learned terminology and expanded my knowledge, for which I am grateful."

Raymond Timbery

Founder, Gadhungal Marring

“The advantage of doing Activate is in understanding the method on how to establish a startup and getting the full picture and roadmap of what is required along the way to turn an idea into a functional business. Prior to joining IA we had made a start on setting up our business but our strategic direction was not clear for growing our idea. Working through the program helped us confirm where we were on the right track, what was missing and get clear on our priorities going forward."
