As we reached the end of our first DreamIt session we asked the companies what they felt helped them the most during DreamIt and what comments they had for our next DreamIt class. They said (1) mentors (2) community and (3) accelerating their progress. We have compiled some videos so that you too can learn about the Dreamit Difference.
Mentors
We have world class mentors
providing continuous advice to
our companies.
Community
Having all companies work in one
location provided our companies with
great collaboration.
Acceleration
All of the DreamIt elements
put together helped the
greatly accelerate their progress.
In addition we thought we'd share a few unsolicited comments we recieved from founders of DreamIt companies:
Hello Mike, David and Steve,
I wanted to send off a quick thank you note to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the work that you guys put into DreamIT. It was truly an incredible experience. Every part of it, from the kick-off weekend to Funding Day, was fantastic. It was clear that you three really put yourselves on the line to maximize our chances of success. On a more personal level, SCVNGR would be nowhere near where it is now without your help. I appreciate and value the opportunity that you guys have given us. It's incredible for a company so small to have such huge resources. On behalf of me and the rest of the SCVNGR team, we're hell-bent on making the most of the great foundation that DreamIT has set for us. (The real game starts on Monday.) Anyway, I'll be spreading the word about DreamIT at Princeton and look forward to having the opportunity to tell them all about it in person, when you need it.
Thank you again. Seth
Mike and David,
I wanted to thank you guys again for what's been a phenomenally awesome summer. I moved into my college dorm yesterday, and miss the incubator space terribly. Shankar, Ryan and I all agreed that this was the best summer we've ever had, and possibly one of the most amazing experiences in our young lives. I count myself incredibly lucky and privileged to have been given a spot at DreamIt. It was a blast to get to know you, the Philadelphia startup community, and the startup experience more generally. Thanks for all your help - I'm sure we'll continue to come back for more. Definitely keep in touch, and I hope your respective startups are going well!
All the best, David
