“The ImagineThat Academy sets out a framework that gets you from point A to point B to actually start your business.
As a result, I secured 3 clients.
I have a skillset that has given me not only the foundations of my business, but the tools needed to keep building on top of my business plan afterwards in future.”- Donna O'Leary
“Overall, this has been the best personal investment I have ever given myself, my future self and my business.
The cohort is also so supportive and the environment is ideal for anyone who is looking to move into the entrepreneurial space.
I don’t see any downside for anyone thinking of completing the ImagineThat Academy. Highly recommend.” - Jess Katz
“Coming out of this, there is no way I could have learnt all of this on my own, in such a short period of time.
I came out having received all the information I came to get and I understand now what I need to do to move my business forwards.
For anyone who doesn’t have a business background, it made it feel like becoming an entrepreneur is attainable.” - Shari Merrill
”The cohort was very open minded and didn’t judge you for anything.
Working in a cohort is so beneficial because you can learn from other business ideas and meet people from around the world - a good way to explore, learn from each other and build close connections for the future.” - Ruby Yip
