Testimonials
It was an exciting yet challenging experience, and it’s a great step to take in figuring out what you want to do next in life.
Massive thanks for the HEX trip! The skills and people you connected me to from HEX made my year so much more rewarding and more successful then I thought possible. What you have created is truly special and valuable.
You aren’t just visiting the place, you are really immersing yourself into it. It’s first-hand, practical experience – something that you wouldn’t learn in the classroom!
This is an extremely rare opportunity to come out to San Francisco to network and learn about start ups. The learning experience itself plus the friends you make – it’s invaluable.
The exchange was truly life changing! One of the best things I ever did!
I would rate it a 10/10, there is nothing I have done that I can even begin to compare it to. There are other accelerators, but at HEX they gave us the opportunity to explore our own business ideas and also see how other companies worked.
