                  “The XI Accelerator came at the right moment for Bimefy as we were exploring how to grow in the U.S. market. One of the most valuable parts for me was being challenged to explain our business in a simpler, sharper way: not just what our technology does, but why it matters for construction teams. The mentorship, founder community, and practical feedback helped us refine our positioning and focus on the next steps. XI gave us more clarity, confidence, and momentum as we continue building Bimefy.”

                  Jo Van Oosterwyck, Co-Founder – Bimefy

                  “The XI Accelerator was an incredibly meaningful experience for me as I built Local Blooms. The guest speakers were outstanding and shared practical expertise on everything from strategy and marketing to fundraising and finances, and I learned something valuable from every session. The people were ultimately the most valuable part of the experience. The relationships I built with fellow founders, mentors, and business leaders in our community have been priceless. Entrepreneurship can feel isolating at times, and XI has created a community of people who genuinely wanted to see each other succeed. I was continually inspired by the willingness of others to share their knowledge, make connections, offer encouragement, and help move our businesses forward. I left the accelerator with new skills, a stronger business, and a network of supporters and friends that I know will continue long after the program ends.”
