In Their Words
In Their Words
“The Activate Studio team’s active involvement at every step ensured we were heading in the right direction, which was crucial for securing nearly half a million in investment and earning recognition.
We were selected for the Creative Catalyst SXSW Programme, won the Best AI for Good Startup in Edinburgh University’s AI Accelerator Programme, and received the Gold Award for Tech Innovation in Cannes”
- Fiona Gillies, Christine Hartland and Mahesh Ramachandra, SMASH founders
"Activate Studio was a real turning point for EcoHedge. It helped us to better articulate our value proposition and our suitability for investment. The support provided by the team was instrumental in taking our initial concept from zero to one, and I have no doubt that the company would not have grown to where it is today without this guidance and mentorship.
I would recommend the programme to any early-stage startup founders looking to take the next step and work with partners who really care about growing your business."- Rob Smallcombe, EcoHedge co-founder
“Activate Studio didn’t just help us build our product, they really got our vision from the start and became a tech partner. Their support went way beyond tech; they helped us refine our strategy, understand our customers better, and figure out the right path forward with invaluable design sessions.
The whole team has been incredible, always there to guide us through challenges and big decisions. It’s been amazing having a partner we can truly rely on as we grow.”- Yuru Guo, Hey! Food is Ready founder
