I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the HARVEST accelerator program. We have done several accelerator programs now and I can say the insights, mentorship, and connections we gained during our involvement have been the best we've received and invaluable for our growth and development. The HARVEST program has played a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of the industry and refining our business strategies. We truly appreciate the support and resources provided by the program and it's absolutely been the best program we've participated in.

"When applying to join this free program I was doubtful that there would be more than $10,000 of value, but nevertheless was keen to go ahead and see what. On reflection I would say there was many multiples of this value created for our little business, that will grow year by year as the enunciated and learnt principles are expanded on by my team!"
