"Onnow's journey with Techne has been highly rewarding. The selection into the Accelerator was a massive vote of confidence that helped us raise a significant investment (from Bangladesh's perspective) from Silicon Valley.

All the sessions with Techne coaches along with continuous guidance from our Techne mentor helped us build a compelling investment story, and fundraising strategy for Onnow.

Techne team has been extremely supportive after the program completion. The best part of Techne program was their focus on hospitality as compared to other accelerator programs."

Syed Tahmid Zaman

Founder & CEO, Onnow.io

"Our experience with Techne Accelerator has been extremely valuable. With incredible introductions to key experts, this program has helped accelerate key partnerships, along with finding the right advisors that added value to our future vision.

The support from the Techne has continued post-cohort completion with additional meets up, workshops and opening doors for partnership with a large travel company that is bringing us incremental business.

Another highlight was having the support to interview and secure our co-founder/CTO, who has been a great addition to the team."
