When I started Talarto, I had just an idea and a lot of uncertainty. Shivam and the team at First500days stepped in like true partners—guiding me on every aspect from product building to strategic direction. Thanks to their mentorship, Talarto moved from zero to a real startup. I couldn’t have asked for better support.

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.

I would like to share my experience from the Startup Program. In the beginning I just wanted to do business but I don't have much perfect plan regarding business, through this program I have learnt many things like what is business and how to do and manage . It is so nice to share time with everyone in the program and sharing everyone's experiences gave a lot of knowledge.
