Without participating in the first round of mentoring, I would not be where I am today with a +$165,000 increase in revenue.”

“I truly appreciate this amazing opportunity and the insightful mentoring provided through the Digital Solutions program. As a migrant and international student, I’ve realised how much knowledge we often lack when it comes to business models and entrepreneurship. This experience has been incredibly valuable and satisfying. Thank you for your support and inspiration.”

“I've enjoyed all my sessions, I came into the mentoring session feeling very overwhelmed by the noise around AI and cybersecurity for small businesses and came away with clear guiding principles and the tools needed to systematically create and implement an adaptable action plan moving forward as my business scales. I anticipate I will be needing my mentor’s insight again in the future, as I found his knowledgeable and methodical approach extremely helpful.”
