Testimonials

“TheHub was a pleasant way to spend Saturday mornings, learning from experts and other entrepreneurs”.

“The experience with the BAYI program is one I believe every aspiring SME needs to reach their zenith and should participate in, as it taught me both the basics and general principles to take my business to greater heights.”

“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.”
