"I have spent the last 20 years building a job for myself. The StartupWind Global Accelerator has given me the tools, path, and guidance to turn my job into a business in just 8 weeks. The mentoring aspect of the program was extremely valuable as the mentors varied in disciplines and provided us with instruction and guidance to help bring our product to market. The one-on-one mentor sessions that we were paired with were a perfect fit. Additionally, StartupWind courses are filled with great information and lessons. I would highly recommend StartupWind Platform and Accelerator to any small business entrepreneur." -Stewart Junge
