“XLR8UH equipped us scientists the tools to understand business concepts and execute the principles in creating our own business plans. They honed our presentations skills and gave us the confident to turn our ideas into commercially viable products. XLR8UH is the platform for science to merge with business, for science to create a bigger impact on the community.” – Dr. Soojin Jun, CEO at Jun Innovations

“We believe [XLR8UH] to be the best program in Hawaii that quickly gets startups up and running based upon solid business fundamentals. The process isn’t touchy-feely cheerleader stuff, more like acid washing and tough love, but the outcomes are tangible fundamentals that are easy to communicate and demonstrate.” – Dennis Furukawa, CEO at RealGreen Power

“XLR8UH brings seasoned, VC savvy and passionate start-up professionals to coach, challenge, support and accelerate the thinking and planning of each of the cohort companies. Their enthusiasm and dedication was an inspiration to our team. They are passionate about what they are doing – which is great for them and their mission, but even better for the cohort teams.” – John Bay, CEO at AlgorithmHub
