The Facebook Accelerator program not only introduced me to mentors who gave me practical support to grow my business but also connected me with successful startups who have encountered similar business challenges. I learnt a lot from them by listening and talking to these startups in person.

Through the Facebook Accelerator Seoul program, we were able to network with other startups, mentors and investors who helped a great deal in sharing practical advice and learnings. Our designated mentor was a B2B SaaS expert and an ex-startup founder who was able to share valuable advice on target segmentation, pricing, sales strategy and enterprise license policy. Thanks to the guidance and training sessions, we’ve been able to successfully launch a revenue model for Closer.ai.

The mentoring session with a data scientist from Facebook HQ gave us great insights for launching our product; and trainings on brand building and pitching helped us a lot. We also found the sharing sessions and networking with fellow startups to be extremely useful and a great learning experience.
