Reflections from our alumni
The key takeaway for us was gaining perspective from the daily operations and really focusing on the big priorities of our business.
Co-founder and Co-CEO of FilmChain
Being a part of the Rise Start-Up Academy at our early stage, not only gave us the knowledge and education to build as a business, it also opened up the entire Rise fintech ecosystem to us as a network. Hugely beneficial!
