Quote from CL Tian, CEO of Phiex Technologies: "We became part of a community who went above and beyond, quite literally rolling up sleeves to white board in some cases. Strategics, service provider partners, the alumni, our cohort-mates, and the MTI team - everyone was laser focused on helping us move the ball forward. Most importantly, these were folks who were actively walking the walk, successfully. They worked on our business, made intros, brainstormed, answered endless questions, etc."
