The program focuses on empowering female founders to overcome the obstacles they often experience in the startup space.
“I absolutely would not have made the progress I did without ProtoX. It gave me the confidence, opportunity and motivation to conduct my first customer interviews and get my first paying customers. The program made me accountable, and gave me an opportunity to pitch my ideas and demonstrate my progress.
During ProtoX I was able to ask for support or ideas from the Program Manager and the other founders, who came from different industries, experiences, and stages of life. It gave me a more rounded view than just working alone.”
Victoria Edghill, founder of Relievables (ProtoX Alumni; INCUBATE Accelerator Class 15)
