Alice: Joining an accelerator in particular has been an absolute game changer for the business. I was quite scared almost, coming into it – A not for profit social enterprise, like, nobody else is going to have the same business as me, but actually it’s given me the opportunity to talk to other people, get new ideas and I’ve actually implemented so many of those ideas. A network of people that are, like learning these things at the same time.
Dan: It gives you that accountability piece, so certainly if you are someone who is working on your own the accelerator program does that. And finally, that piece around collaboration, actually to see is there a way that we can work together, is completely unique to an accelerator program.
