One of the biggest draws for me in terms of joining BonBillo’s Bootcamp was that I knew what I didn't know. I didn't know how to build a customer acquisition strategy, how to value our startup or how to fundraise. Since BonBillo’s program, we’ve launched the Goodable app and TV channel, raised a successful seed round and formed partnerships to scale. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bootcamp curriculum and the workshop slides have kind of turned into a textbook for us that we reference as we grow - even at the seed stage.

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 really enjoyed the program. All the sessions working with the team, applying the frameworks to our startup and getting 1-1 feedback gave us clarity on our value proposition, unit economics and marketing plan. The startup templates were easy to use and helped us better understand our LTV and COCA. We loved the diverse content including workshops on Business Model, HubSpot’s Flywheel and Emotional Leadership.
