"Outstanding Service. I was given a lot of quality advice that is certainly going to make building my startup a lot easier. Will definitely recommend to anyone that's serious about building a tech startup."
Anthon, UK "Your session last week was by far one of the best we
have had... thank you." Female founder in tech on We in Social Tech accelerator programme, UK "This was a fantastic course and will help me immensely in growing my business and the speaker was extremely helpful in her advice."
Attendee, British Library workshop designed & delivered by Purposeful Group, UK "I was lucky enough to meet Kay while Pionr was part of the NatWest Fintech Accelerator, and she has been hugely generous with her expertise and time, offering support and insight on several issues around management of remote software teams, testing procedures and web app monitoring tools, as well as generally providing an exceptionally positive outlook and a patient sounding board for thoughts and ideas, which is always a huge boon in the pressurised world of early-stage businesses! Since we completed our time at the accelerator Kay has continued to provide support, and we are looking forward to maintaining an ongoing connection."
Jonathan W, CEO of Pionr, UK |
"The tech side of entrepreneurship always frightens me because I never know if I am going to be taken advantage of because of lack of knowledge about the industry. Thanks for helping me sleep at night!"
Brandon Fong, USA "Really good, concrete advice. Good presentation, pros and cons of different programs explained, plenty of free software introduced. Very knowledgeable presenter."
Attendee, British Library workshop designed & delivered by Purposeful Group, UK "I've moved from possible idea... to finding my market.. to finding my specific 'need' to fill - to collaborating with my market and gaining invaluable feedback as well as research. I'm currently in the 'Prototyping' phase of my project and it's moving quickly. I feel confident in the results gained... and the future. Can't say enough."
Aaron, USA "I made a mistake to hire a developer without knowing too much about how to manage the app development process. After the developer made a bad job and I lost few hundred dollars, I really wanted to start the process again, this time I wanted to be more involved. The scariest and hardest part in managing people in a technical project when you're not a technical guy is that you don't know what you don't know. THANK YOU. It was exactly what I needed."
