Testimony

We have been attending the mentoring sessions every week and they are so helpful! The mentors are objective and they give insightful advice. Moreover, by listening to other companies' presentation, we get to receive new information and know that: Wow, there are people out there doing this, how cool is that! And the 1337 staff are all very friendly and responsive. We always get clear and welcoming responses so we won't feel "intimidated" when asking one. Well done! It's such a wonderful program! Thank you for all the guidance. All the best.

I like this program as it is flexible especially on the self paced learning. I am able to rewind things and check for revision if I need some clarity on something that I confuse. However, what I like the most is the mentoring session. It's like a discussion where I can learn from other startup and I like how our mentor giving us direct feedback no filter filter, and to discuss things to make sure we understand. I think, for entrepreneurs themselves, in mentoring session, they have to be volunteer to present and to let other people assess them. Because, not everyone around us willing to give constructive feedbacks. Having a mentor provides clarity to what you are building now. Thank you for the time spent with us.

During this short 5-week programme, we learned a lot, especially about how to go to market. We learnt about customer validation, business direction, and clear problem statement that our startup is trying to solve. Also covered how to put together a pitch deck and what investors are looking for. The mentor provided great guidance. Highly recommend for any startup founder to sign up.

Enjoying the productive weekend afternoon by watching the pitch from the startups of ASDA 2021. It's very mind-blowing on how great they're up to and the legit impact they're opting for. Being a participant in ASDA 2020, our team has learned structured design thinking and been receiving well-tailored mentorship which gave our team and me a lot of insights in constructing startup buildings.

The whole programme is very niche that will elevate your business, just go for it even though you do not win the whole experience will boost your startup as well as your confidence!

Should have joined this programme when we started in 2018; also should have had my co-founders join in; can see how well it benefitted early start-ups; Kavidha did a great job as our mentor!

I think this program is great and really needed by all start up. The Alpha Startups module is quite detail and I can relate with my business nature. At least now I have clear overview what I suppose to do. You guys are awesome!!
