Launch Pad has given me the basis and guidance to move ahead with a startup idea – You know what to do but don't know how to do it, and that question of don't know is resolved by Launch Pad. -

Launch Pad is an excellent introduction to the real world of startups. Its emphasis on real world experience from two excellent teachers sets it apart from all the other programs / 'dreamgrams' out there. Startups are hard, but so is life, don't make it any harder. Having teachers/mentors with real world scars and a genuine desire to help you succeed is just amazing. If you listen, if you learn and apply these principles with discipline, your chances of success will dramatically increase. -

It was amazing and many lessons learned. It was exactly what I needed, as they say "little knowledge is dangerous" and one can think one is on the right track. However, with Jamie and Johnathon I was able to clarify, crystallise and now focus on the next chapter. Some changes need to be made, some require tweaking, some to be lower in the priority list etc. A great reality check. I came away refreshed and more enthusiastic with a belief, that in following their guidance and direction one has a far greater opportunity for success and mitigate risks. Let's continue the journey on to "Ignition and Beyond". -

These 2 days had been an inspiring collection of presentations, workshops and discussions. I genuinely believe that the accelerator program will benefit anyone who dreams of big ideas and lives to make them a reality.
