I found customers at NEXT. I found business partnerships through NEXT. I found investors through NEXT. There’s so many things to connect with at NEXT that you don’t even envision when you start.

Entrepreneurs are by nature somewhat solitary, so to have a community where we can come together to ask the stupid questions and the really hard questions is really important.

[Every month] we meet with 3 really great mentors and that’s got to be the most beneficial thing we do through NEXT and in general for our business.
