What Did the Graduates of Baslat Academy Say?

"Hello Tomorrow Turkey supported Spiky.ai very early on and gave us a much needed boost to leap to the next level. We were provided a wide variety of mentorships and lessons that we utilized internally to enhance our business development practices and organize our units. We also still sustain important connections to some of our cohort and mentors! We encourage everyone to at least apply to this great program!"

"As ArVis Technology, when we participated in the Hello Tomorrow-START 21 program, we were in a period where change and innovation were in the air, and we needed a new beginning. The START program was therefore very correct and valuable for us. We met with each other, valuable entrepreneurs. The Hello Tomorrow and Facebook Program Team had prepared a wonderful training program that included very valuable experts and consultants for us entrepreneurs. With the acceleration and renewal we received from START, we are progressing more focused towards our goals in the fields of image processing, artificial intelligence, and deep technology."

"Hello Tomorrow Turkey supported Spiky.ai very early on and gave us a much needed boost to leap to the next level. We were provided a wide variety of mentorships and lessons that we utilized internally to enhance our business development practices and organize our units.

The START program was therefore very correct and valuable for us. We met with each other, valuable entrepreneurs. The Hello Tomorrow and Facebook Program Team had prepared a wonderful training program that included very valuable experts and consultants for us entrepreneurs. With the acceleration and renewal we received from START, we are progressing more focused towards our goals in the fields of image processing, artificial intelligence, and deep technology."
