What Participants Say
Hear from past EDGE participants about their experience.
"As a naturally shy person, I did develop more leadership skills as well as confidence in a group setting. I also worked on my collaboration and communication skills, while gaining a better knowledge of myself."

"The client work was something I LOVED: I never experienced something like it, as I was helping real individuals with startups in tasks that are going to be super useful for them. The AI tools was a huge learning experience, as I learnt a lot of new terminology, which I then applied to creating a new product — something I never did before, and it was super fun. Meeting awesome new people, and working in a very corporate environment."

"I researched the positive outcomes that could occur if mental health programs for entrepreneurs were prioritized and about how vital entrepreneurship is to a community's social and economic advantage — and should therefore be nurtured with support, resources, and guidance to help founders succeed sustainably."
