``It was very inspiring to participate in the Startup Drill event. Very well organized, a quick and inspiring way to learn the principles of lean startup!``
``Now when impressions have settled, I can conclude that all the ideas/projects that I've done so far or I am working on I see from a different perspective and I'm starting from the beginning, looking for problems to correct or solve!``
``So far I have been participating in a number of different types of training, seminars and workshops, but this is the best workshop I have ever attended and where I learned so incredibly much (it's just a lesson that next time I should not postpone trying new things).``
``Startup Drill was one of my best educational experiences and I would warmly recommend it to anyone interested in improving their own business skills and increasing awareness about their capabilities. From mentors, to colleagues, to venue - thumbs up!``
And make the best investment of your time!
