“The /dev/color accelerator pushed my venture forward tangibly. I came in with a vague idea for a product, and left with a solid case for a business, connections with customers for market validation, connections with mentors, connections with investors and a potential pilot customer lined up for this year. I feel lucky to have taken part.”
