Harbour.Space was like a deep dive into the world of startups. From financial analysis and forecasting to understanding cap tables and go-to-market strategies, I gained a comprehensive toolkit for managing operations and finance. Now, as the CFO and COO of my startup, I'm fully immersed in the challenges. Harbour.Space didn't just teach me; it prepared me to lead. In the startup world, that preparation has made all the difference.

Studying at Harbour.Space was more than worth it. I learned how to set up a company, expanded my network with decision-makers, met incredible classmates from around the world, and even mastered three new programming languages, despite not being a data/computer science student.
