Thanks, Alan!

Congratulations again on building and scaling loadin.com globally and powering events such SXSW Sydney and the S2S Summit!

β€œWe really needed to learn the dark arts of fundraising as it was completely alien to us. This program was high on signal and low on noise. All experts were true leaders in their field and was curated magnificently. This is the boot camp that every aspiring (and many seasoned) founder needs to attend, whatever your experience, you will come out more knowledgeable than you went in.”

Thanks, Joe!

Congratulations again on launching Unplex.me on the Microsoft Marketplaces, making your platform accessible to over 400 million users in the Microsoft ecosystem! We look forward to seeing you and the team reaching new heights!

"The Stride Equity Sprint Investment Readiness program was an exceptional experience. The program was quite rigorous and meticulously organized, with a well-structured schedule courtesy insights of amazing Stefan ZurflΓΌh (COO Stride Equity) and Maria Halasz (CEO Stride Equity).

They brought in top-tier mentors and coaches who delivered incredible insights and guidance along the way, peppered with great opportunities for in-person and remote social interactions.

All participants had opportunities for trialing green-rooms, pitching and some immersive learning. The communication throughout the program was spot-on, ensuring we stayed on track and got the most out of every single session.

The mentors were not only experts in their fields but also genuinely invested in our success, offering valuable advice and support that went above and beyond expectations.

Huge thanks to Maria, Stefan, and the entire Stride team for creating such a transformative and enriching program. I am glad to have been part of the very first cohort of the program!"
