I'm gonna start by saying I know I'll be downvoted to hell because this probably sounds too markety, but this is an honest review. It's amazing to see how far Boost VC has come from tiny investments in crypto companies to larger deals, towards futuristic technology, and that too in the middle of a pandemic.

I went through the Boost program in 2016 and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I met some of my best friends there, and their motto (be the cockroach) drilled survival into me at a time when another incubation program had left me confused about business priorities. Whenever I feel like I'm slowing down or confused, I still use their Wednesday dinner format and find a group of peers to bring myself back on track and up to speed.

I was in the 2017 program and I agree that it was an amazing experience! As a first time founder, I learnt a huge amount during the 3 months.

Can you share about that Wednesday dinner format?

I don't know if they still use that, but every Wednesday, Boost would host us for dinner and talk about what we'd done, the challenges we'd faced, how far we'd come and discuss how we could help each other out.

It was very informal, and Boost would barely moderate it. But it was always incredibly helpful to talk about our problems, and we'd always want to share better metrics the next week. Getting peer-feedback was great too! The sessions would never last very long, either.
