Participant Testimonial and Program Highlights
Brighten pitching at the Dobson Founders Series 鈥� Phil Cutler of Paper event.
鈥淧hil Cutler鈥檚 talk at the Paper event was insightful to hear- my 1 on 1 talk with him was a great opportunity to get feedback and contacts. Even the busiest people in the Dobson ecosystem go out of their way to help each other 鈥� it is a supportive environment that I have not seen anywhere else鈥�

The X-1 Accelerator Cohort Mixer held on July 7th, 2022 at the Dobson Centre: an opportunity for participating startups to mingle, brainstorm over pitch do鈥檚 and don鈥檛鈥檚 and learn more about upcoming Dobson programs.
鈥淲hatever you say in a pitch has an impact on the company you love so much. The Dobson Centre and X-1 Program have helped changed my framework and mentality when it comes to pitching- getting to experience this in different contexts, from pitch practices to the Phil Cutler Founders Series event, has been great,鈥� Kyle Suri
