What Our Alumni is Saying
The programme is very beneficial in terms of preparing ourselves going into US Market and most importantly giving us the access to the right mentors and also refining our pitch deck and pitching skill.
Codemax

Excellent and would love to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the GMP team! It provides us with great insights on what USA investors are looking at. It also gives us a great clarity on what we do and how we should improve.
MODENKOL
GMP USA
It’s been helpful for me to understand the US market and landscape better, how to position ourselves and also improve our pitch & pitch deck for US partners and VCs. The mentorship is the strongest aspect of the program. Our mentor has been so helpful and connected us to some renowned key opinion leaders who are very connected in our industry in the US, who love what we are doing at PurelyB and want to help us expand there. We would not have been able to meet these people or get connected in this way if it weren’t for the program.
