Are there any parts of the accelerator program that you particularly enjoy?
The most exciting thing about this program for me is the ecosystem – it’s people and businesses learning and developing together at a breakneck pace. The culmination of this for me is the demo day and I’m really excited to see all the growth showcased on that day.

The bit of advice that I’d like to pass on is that all big changes start with small changes and it’s really easy to
