What participants say?

Laura Lukito
CEO & Co-Founder, ArkoPay
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.
