Dorothea von Grießenbeck, Founder GRANTORING
“I was initially unsure if the time and effort I invested would be worth it, but the Program exceeded all my expectations. I learned so much and built an incredible network with the others and on the GUILD platform that will help our startup grow and thrive.”
Participant in hybrid program
"Honestly, everything about the program has been fantastic! Since session one, I've been deeply reflecting on our value proposition, which has really stuck with me. The third session inspired me to start tracking critical financial metrics like LTV and CAC, which I hadn't prioritized before. The strategic goal setting and sales sessions were incredibly helpful. This program has truly reshaped my approach to entrepreneurship!"
Imene Abid, Co-Founder Goodlead
“The program is certainly one of the best things that happened to me in 2024! Anne is such an inspiring woman and has provided all the tools, contacts, and knowledge we needed at this stage of our entrepreneurial journey. Using the pitch deck from the Guild Academy, we landed an investment.”
