GAIN Entrepreneurship Masterclass was mind-shifting
"As a fresh graduate, I was confused on where to start as it concerns my business. I saw the scholarship opening for the GAIN masterclass and I jumped on it. That Was the best decision I made this year. The masterclass was exactly what I needed to start out. A lot of misconceptions and preconceived notions I had about Business were clarified. I am so thankful to GAIN for this premium opportunity. The organization and delivery of all the sessions was top notch. The facilitators were not willing to hold back anything. They were ready to pour out everything to us”

GAIN Entrepreneurship Masterclass enabled me think outside the box
"Very useful, it enabled me to think outside the box and equipped me with skills that are valuable to be a successful entrepreneur. Very confident, as we were taught through practical experience and by individuals who’ve been there before and are successful. It is a very good initiative and it will really get Africans off the ground and put us on the global scale with our counterparts who are already established globally. We need more of these classes to help equip us and be entrepreneurs who can compete globally and hold our own in every sector”

GAIN Entrepreneurship Masterclass is just what every start up needs to set their business on track
“The GAIN master class was a very insightful and eye opening experience for me as a business owner because it resonated with a lot of the issues I have struggled with as an entrepreneur after the class I was able to restructure the entire business. I am very confident applying the things I have learnt from the GAIN Master class to the dayto-day running of my business because I was mentored by experts and thought leaders with impeccable backgrounds in business and entrepreneurship during the classes. And I could see that they understood the pain points of startups like mine because they were able to attack and proper solutions to problems I didn’t even know I had. ... I had been in many entrepreneurship programs that didn’t serve purpose. But the GAIN team did everything within their ability to give us access to some of the greatest minds and passionate mentors, who were willing to share all their knowledge without holding back and eager for us to learn and become better entrepreneurs, I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity. The GAIN master class is one of those initiatives that should be talked about more than it is throughout Africa. We are in an era where a lot of youths are becoming business owners without the proper expertise to guide them. This master class is just what every start up needs to set their business on track”
