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.

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.

The bootcamp is quite different from what I've done before. It's really helped me in seeing my startup with an impact focus. Joining the program gave me a lot of different perspectives and learning on how to better communicate impact as part of the strategic narrative in my pitch. The mentors gave us a lot of feedback on how we should grow the business and work towards our mission hand in hand. As an impact investor, BonBillo's mandate aligns with ours, bringing financial inclusion and literacy to the most underserved gig economy. Throughout the program, we met with other fellow start-ups focusing on impact issues.Thank you BonBillo for supporting our journey to empower Indonesia’s most underserved sector!

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.
