Founders Testimonials

As a first time founder who’s building right out of college, having your application reviewed by someone like Shashank Kumar at such an early stage, just helps in getting so much clarity with vision as well as the idea in entirety.

This is incredible. I never expected someone who is so busy running a unicorn to spend so much time reading our application without any expectation and giving valuable feedback. I still can't believe it!!! This is an amazing initiative.

I really liked the feedback because it was to the point and brief, It was not generic so It give us a thought that someone has reviewed the answers very well. I asked doubts with the team and got the reply this shows that communication is managed carefully.
