If you are serious about launching your startup, then SkillHat Accelerator is where you want to be. You are thrust into a situation where you must pick an idea, form a team, and set expectations within a few hours. From there you are guiding a team of people, conceivably from all parts of the world, to pull together for a single cause. The premise of being a leader and accepted as one, is the greatest achievement of the program"

Skillshat accelerator programme has been a life-chager within this short period. I was blessed with some talented individuals who ensured I wasn't left behind and constantly motivated me in this journey. This accelerator made me appreciate the power of team work and effective communication. It was awesome! This accelerator has also given me the skillset by exposing me to vital productivity platforms that would be instrumental in my career as a UX designer. I'll always recommend this accelerator programme for anyone willing to take their career to the next level.
