“What I really enjoyed [about FastTrack Accelerator] is that it wasn’t a solo mentorship, you have a group. You have all the advisers who provide guidance, but then you also have the cohort. It feels like a community — we are helping each other; we each have our own unique dreams for a startup. The advisers simplified the process of building a business in a way that I could understand it, but not so simple that it wasn’t useful. It was really eye-opening.”
