"Propeller’s experience gave me a lot of things that I can put into practice. It was challenging, like going to school for me. But without a doubt, I wouldn’t change doing it because it was necessary for our growth to make these steps."
Touré Folkes Turning Tables (Impact Accelerator 2021)
"Propeller’s network is so vast and so clear that we got exactly what we needed when we needed it. What we needed to do was to figure out how we were going to finance this project and build a model a few years out so that it’s sustainable."
Joy Okoro Eden Project (Impact Accelerator 2021)
"Propeller gave me EVERYTHING that I needed to continue successfully building my business. Every individual and group meeting was carefully planned to make the best of the time spent with the program."
