Testimonials of participants of the Accelerator program

“I love working with Jose and my partner - I understand different things, new alternatives, understand all the people to help others - feeling to help - open to create networks and changes in society” Ronald Morales – Fundación Capital

"As an entrepreneur it is lonely and having someone to work with is very valuable.... my connect from Microsoft, has been in regular touch and they have been a very helpful force!" Farida Charania – Empauwer

"Shefy was so instrumental in helping us to narrow our focus and realized that we can't do everything we want. When he proposed the idea of pitching to Microsoft this helped shift our thinking and open new ways of thinking about how we can work with his team and corporate partners, and it changed our goals and helped get the ball rolling. The future is of course uncertain, but the program has given us such a transformative opportunity to consider how we can partner with Microsoft." Alban Bressand – Reforestum

"We have to learn to collaborate differently than we have in the past. I think one of the great things that's happened for me in this collaboration is that my team have also had continued access to Rohit.
We have continued to evolve as a team while evolving all of the use cases and the functionalities that we have already been deploying - and to see how those can be now augmented with things like GPT 4 to unlock even more possibilities for developing rural livelihoods at scale." Meagan Fallone – Soli
