We sincerely thank the TZ APAC team for their efforts and commitment. For any organization seeking a professional, reliable, and forward-looking partner, we recommend TZ APAC without hesitation.”

Testimonial-Questflow

“We joined Fortify Labs initially to get a deeper understanding to build out the Web3 side of our products. Fortify Labs is the longest startup program to attend and that has been helpful as we have enough time to tweak things. Other accelerators I’ve been to are relatively short, so the amount we can cover in two to three months is very limited. Fortify Labs is the most active startup program in terms of help provided.

We also learnt a lot about making narratives, and building the right stories for investors in Web3. The sessions on revising our pitch deck were very important and valuable.”
