Comments

  • We have had great success and tremendous excitement with the people that have been here so far. Some groups made excellent connections to the US business envirnment and their customers, and this was a major part of the task. By integrating entrepreneurs and creating opportunities for them, INNOGATE does a great job. We're happy. I think it worked.

  • Google Launchpad Business Development Director Dan Feld said that he was impressed by the maturity and technological prowess of the INNOGATE companies he met, and that he found entrepreneurs to be open to listening and learning. Feld continued that the INNOGATE companies he met were not content with producing an idea and product prototype, but were fully prepared on what need their product meet, who their potential customers were, what value their product would add, and how they would reach their target audience - a fully-rounded approach that is rarely found in entrepreneurs.
