Testimonials
“TheHub was a pleasant way to spend Saturday mornings, learning from experts and other entrepreneurs”.
“Being a part of the BAYI Foundation – The Hub Program has proven invaluable for my company, Lima Consulting. I appreciated the training program where I enhanced my knowledge of the different aspects of business. I especially liked the marketing and business strategy modules as these were the 2 areas my company needed assistance with. Following the training program, BAYI Foundation has paired me with an experienced and capable fellow (coach) who has immensely helped me to assess the business and develop a new strategy that will turn the business around. Additionally, the Foundation contracted a junior fellow (employee) who is assisting with the day-to-day business operations, which has been huge. I am seeing real results in the company since joining The Hub Program.”
“I am really glad my team and I had the opportunity to build necessary foundational skills to run a successful organization. The structure of the program was fantastic and I will highly recommend it to other entrepreneurs.”
“TheHub program is beneficial because it takes different courses and incorporates them into one program for a period. It is not too taxing, in terms of cost and time on the participant.”
“Having gone through challenging times in my business, BAYI Foundation's program “TheHub” came at the right time giving me insights on the do's and dont's in my business. I am optimistic I will experience positive growth with what I have learned so far.”
“My experience in the TheHub program was very illuminating as I learned something new (idea, concept and insight) from the quality cohort members, excellent facilitators and the very organized administrators.”
