A highly comprehensive program that allowed me not only to learn to control and plan the areas of my business but also to connect with more entrepreneurs from whom I also learned, along with all the speakers and more people from Pomona, who provided an excellent experience to strengthen and improve my business.
So far in the program, I have the tools to organize what has been achieved in the company in coordination with short, medium, and long-term projections.
The program has been much more beneficial than I expected. We truly felt a difference after completing the incubation phase as we now have much more knowledge to make strategic decisions and monitor results. Additionally, the interaction with other entrepreneurs has been very enriching as it has opened up networking and collaboration opportunities that we would not have had otherwise
We feel fortunate to have been able to participate in Pomona Impact’s program. We’ve identified where we stand out from the other participants in the program. Additionally, we’ve gained new momentum through networking and professional consulting for our company.
It was an extremely valuable experience for me, personally and for my company. We evolved our business model, structure, and communication entirely. It was a very interesting, intense, and necessary process for the company. We are much stronger now, thanks to having gone through Pomona’s program.
