I have built businesses that have failed, and I have felt lost in the journey of learning how to build a structured business. With the GET Accelerated program, I feel found because I now have a community of cohort members who are great entrepreneurs. I also have coaches and tutors who have nudged me in the right direction in building my business.
What GET has gotten right is that they have been able to distil the knowledge. And because we are a small group of people, there is a lot of personalisation and context that has been taken into consideration for what would help your business grow. I have been really blessed to be part of it.
Even though we didn't win, we got to network with many valuable individuals and organisations. I also got to have a gig with Grooming HMO. The Grooming ecosystem has various services, such as hospitality, training, a microfinance bank, and there's the HMO, which provides medical services and insurance. We will be the chief recruiters for the HMO, according to the conversation we have had with them. What we do is help organisations to help, find, hire and retain talents, so retention is a key part of what we do, and interestingly, half of the founders here already want Interna to recruit for them.
I was able to do a lot of numbers with the first one million, and I was able to project to the judges that I already know how to duplicate this money to do more, so it's more about making the model the same model I used better.' He said he sees GET becoming a big deal in the future.
The things GET said they would do, is what they have done, and they have done it excellently with the right intent. They were really concerned about designing an impactful program and a program that truly helps.
