WisamFounder, Mosaic Boards
My mentor has been fantastic. I am grateful for all the time she has spent with me during the workshops and outside. She understands me well and helps me to focus on the task at hand. She has helped me believe in my idea and still provides continuous support.

My mentor supported me with great ideas and advice. He clearly understood that creating and starting my own business is about more than providing a job and income – it is about self-confidence, social networks and community.

I learned a lot of new ideas and practical examples to start new business. My On Demand session gave me different ways to achieve my goals. The Program officer was so kind and has a deep knowledge of starting a business.

The On Demand Officer made a lot of effort in preparing for the meeting. During the session, we spoke about key details to help me along. It was very well organised.
