The Bootcamp helped us achieve our goals by, first and foremost, introducing me to like-minded entrepreneurs, some of whom we are already collaborating with. This kind of collaboration would have only been possible by being in the same room and sharing ideas together. We've had some great talks with industry experts. The program has not only helped my network grow - it has also helped my understanding of the broader SEA region. Being in such a serene environment in Ubud has provided a peaceful space for us to work. Additionally, having an intense schedule has allowed us to focus our efforts on the actual goals of our companies.

Had a great few days learning from Suraj Kripalani, Julia Turnbull, Rukaiya Rangwala and all the awesome mentors in BonBillo. Throughout the program, I've had the privilege to zoom out from the day-to-day hustle of being a founder and truly reflect on the bigger picture. Understanding our company's mission and our customers' needs through a wider lens has been enlightening. Narrowing down our focus to what truly matters has been transformative. It's amazing how clarity can emerge when we prioritize and streamline our efforts. BonBillo helped me effectively communicate our impact in our pitch, and how it drives our revenue growth. But perhaps the most profound lesson has been about setting the core of our company and staying true to our values. These foundational elements not only guide our decisions but also shape our company culture and impact on the world.

We walked out of the bootcamp with so much strategic and operational clarity - right from a sharper understanding of our value proposition to our unit economics. We also learnt about several best in class toolkits to understand our customers and market in a deeper manner. The Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework, Flywheel, and the Sprint framework were broken down in ways that made sense to each one of us. The facilitators are always there for you and are always willing to help you with as much feedback and support is needed. Plus, the rest of the startups in the cohort make for a wonderful support system!

We are an impact-driven startup, and BonBillo has been helping us measure that impact—how we contribute to the MSME sector and how we track our progress. It was incredibly founder-friendly - I’m super happy with the flexibility and support from the entire BonBillo team, who have been with us from day one and till date they continue to monitor our growth & support us with their guidance. The bootcamp was a mix of both online and offline sessions, allowing my partners to join remotely and contribute directly, which was a great advantage. Another highlight is the focus on teamwork. This is not just a training program, it's hands-on work to grow your startup.

BonBillo's Bootcamp has been extremely helpful for me and my team. It's been really helpful for us to get away from our busy operations and reevaluate again our core value proposition, business goals and our product roadmap - particularly what we need to prioritize. Suraj has been really helpful in getting us to align on why we started Arkopay and how we want to help our customers. Big shoutout to incredible mentors and speakers for sharing their experience and tips in terms of go to market strategies, how to build a great product, team building, and for guiding us every step of the way at BonBillo.
