Alison Ruks, founder of Mobobaby (Cohort 10) :

"While entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, there are others travelling the same route and feel the same as you do.
 
The accelerator program helped me to prioritize my projects, accomplish significant goals effectively and efficiently, and gave me an incredible network of advisors to help me tweak my strategy so I can have the confidence to go forth and conquer.
 
Find your entrepreneurial support circle, put your seatbelt on, and get ready for the ride!"
