Founder Stories
Here’s what some of our founders have to say about their JOLT experience.
JOLT was an incredible experience for the Stylekick team and we're grateful to have been part of the program. We grew so much as both a company and as entrepreneurs. Plus, the ability to work full-time in the MaRS Commons space has been very beneficial to our business.
JOLT has been an incredibly eye-opening experience. You'll go in thinking of your product as a technical solution to a problem, and then leave with the knowledge that there are many other pieces of the puzzle that need to be addressed.
"So you've spent time building your company, your rocket. Shiny new paint, you've got people to fly it, people to record the launch and you even have a logo. Nice. One problem: You forgot that you need fuel and a place to launch it. Meet JOLT. The advisors and JOLT network are the fuel you need to propel you forward and JOLT is the launching pad. Sure it's up to you to prepare for launch and steer your rocket but JOLT gives you exactly what you need to blast-off. Yes I like analogies."
The JOLT network was an invaluable resource for our team. Every startup's journey is exciting and unique, and JOLT provided us with the individual attention we needed in order to successfully overcome the challenges of early stage startup life. We couldn't have asked for a more talented roster of mentors and advisors. Anyone that has the pleasure of working with the MaRS community will certainly come out ahead.
