Here are a few comments from founders from the first season of Startmate:

“Startmate was an awesome experience. We received great advice from all the mentors, especially on legal issues and planning our move to Silicon Valley. The media coverage and attention from investors was a big help too. Intros from one of the mentors in particular lead to finding investors for our seed round. I’d recommend Startmate for anyone looking to take their product and early traction through a crash course in startup building. Plus it’s really, really fun doing it with other startups on a similar journey.”
Dave Trindall, co-founder Chorus

“Before Startmate we were just another couple of  developers working out of our respective bedrooms wondering why we’d never hit the big time. It didn’t take long to realise that there is far more to building a startup than just building an app. Startmate wasn’t only a great exercise in terms of forcing focus on what really matters in creating a business, but was also a great lead into the scary side of the startup world: pitching, VCs and raising capital. I have no doubt that without Startmate BugHerd would still be a 2-guy hobby project instead of the rapidly growing business that it is today. Most importantly, we now have a network of friends and mentors (here and in the US) who continue to provide immense value long after the program has finished.”
Alan Downie, co-founder Bugherd

“Startmate will change your life”
Anthony Marcar, co-founder Grabble (acquired by Wal Mart).
