I was a candidate for the 2018 and 2019 phases of the Truworths Fashion incubation program in collaboration with the Startup Hatchery. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I learned more about business than in my 3 years of studying. Great to have the network of other entrepreneurs to bounce ideas off of and discuss challenges. My business grew proportionally during this program, thanks to the The Startup Hatchery, and would suggest it to any new entrepreneurs starting out.

The Hatchery program has been a valuable one for the incorporation of our brand @mangeurdecoton. The constant interaction between the program facilitators and the members is a key aspect we believe will be a plus for any entity looking to engage in the program. A good line of communication between the two essentially allows for a functional relationship which is what has been a key determinant in our progress as a brand.

The Startuphatchery – UWC business incubation programme has been quite a journey this far! We learned a lot from understanding and tweeking our idea and concept to creating our MVP and more…. Nasmera and Tania are great mentors who are always available to answer questions and provide assistance where and when needed. Thank you for this opportunity, we ( @AgrowBiofertilizers ) are grateful to be apart of this programme!
