It was great to meet with peers, discuss about all the challenges that all of us need to face whatever the sector is and also to participate to the specific and very interesting conference programme. We have met almost all the IPO ecosystem during the programme, so we had the list of contacts, the first opinion with who we could be willing to work with.

The networking and peer-to-peer learning on IPOready was invaluable. I really enjoyed watching ATA and our peers refine our strategy throughout the programme which was evident during the pitch sessions. I also gained great insights through engaging with presenters on the programme who openly shared their experiences in scaling their companies and the sources of funding they used along the way.
