An excellent program with so much to learn from, everyone is so good at what they do you naturally push yourself to be better and do better. Each founder you interact with helps you learn startup skills and motivates you to keep going and growing. There's nothing that's hidden from you, from discussions to recommendations. Everything is transparent.

Being an early-stage startup founder is quite challenging to connect with founders from various backgrounds or even with the startup ecosystem, which is discussing the relevant problems among startups. Their program iprovides all required resources to build startup. Here people are full of energy to share their thoughts and questions. Best for EdTech startups.

We had a very smooth experience with Shivam and First500Days. From the initial call to the final pitch, we had a great experience. It was swift as well, and Shivam was there every step of the way to help us. From setting up the initial WhatsApp group where we shared all our information with prospective investors to finally pitching to them, First500Days made the whole process quite easy.
