What past participants said:
"In just two days, Phase 1 gave me the confidence to get off the fence with my business idea and just go for it.” Louise McCormack.
"Even with the time constraint of only 1 day and a half, the phase 1 bootcamp really helped me dream bigger in terms of where I can bring my business. I was able to expand on my idea, question it and reimagine it through different scenarios. I now feel better equipped to turn my idea into a feasible, profitable business with the potential to provide jobs for others.” Malu Colorin
