Join our alumni community
The PwC scale programme has brought a lot of new insights for us. We have had fantastic masterclasses ranging from how we organise our internal structure to how we go to market.
We learned a lot about how to engage with partners, how to raise funds etc, and we also got introduced to large food companies operating in the Benelux area.
