Futurpreneur success stories

I owe Futurpreneur a huge amount of credit for Enn Taant’s success from the idea stage to launch and beyond. They have provided not only financial support but also avenues to meet fellow entrepreneurs, mentors and many important business connections.

Having capital at the beginning was paramount to get us off the ground. With Futurpreneur’s funding and support in developing business plans and financial models, we were able to meet consumer demand and keep our product thriving in the market…Futurpreneur makes room for passion.

With the help of Futurpreneur, we were able to kickstart our business, increase our marketing efforts, and are scaling our operation…We’ve increased our capacity. We’re getting new machines…We’ve already hired new employees.
