Using this network
From what I’ve heard and experienced, everyone is left looking at their businesses in a different way, with a new focus and have some new connections in the valley and beyond. The mentors have been really engaging and have already started opening up their networks. When you’re constantly travelling around conferences and meeting people across the world it can be hard to help everyone you come across, so its a credit to these people and the NZ companies that have impressed them.
If you weren’t at XMedia but are going hard making it happen with your business and one of them could open a specific door for you then reach out to one of us that was there.
