"We’ve gained a great understanding of the industry, and how to approach it with our offering. The networking’s great; with other participants, with whom we have very open and frank discussions, with the corporates we meet via the PwC Scale programme and with PwC experts. There’s so much you can get out of the programme, but you’ve got to put the effort in too. I would certainly recommend it as a great boost for any start-up.”
