Really awesome enjoyable experience. High learning environment mixed with a lot of fund and travel. Highly recommended. We had a lot of high impact, rapid fire rounds of lectures, activities and a pitch/demo day to potential investors. We also visited local startups: LULA and YOCO who shared their journey on how they built their companies. Every startup needs to go through a programme such as this where it gives exposure to international content on how to build a business with a mix of local startup learnings.

I've been truly grateful for the BonBillo accelerator because its curriculum and mentors equipped me with a set of game-changing tools- Disciplined Entrepreneurship, Hubspot's Flywheel, Google's Sprint, and more - that eliminate much of the guesswork from entrepreneurship. Of course, no new concept learned is valuable unless it's integrated and applied to your specific business- to this, the Bonbillo team was terrific at helping us apply concepts.
