A year of building, learning and showing up. Over the course of the Orange Corners Alumni Accelerator with Forward·Inc, 32 Orange Corners alumni representing 24 businesses across 11 countries came together to do the real work of entrepreneurship, while running companies, navigating uncertainty and supporting one another along the way.
Together, they took part in:
- 9 months of programming
- 17 expert-led workshops & masterclasses
- 39 mentorship matches (expert, corporate & internal)
- 52 pitch reviews across Startup & SME tracks
- A Demo Day with 270+ participants
What the impact survey told us
Beyond participation, our impact survey clearly showed meaningful progress in the areas that matter most for sustainable growth:
- Strategic clarity & prioritisation
Founders reported clearer focus, stronger planning and a better ability to translate vision into concrete next steps - Go-to-market readiness & pitching confidence
83% of startups improved their pitch, supported by multiple feedback rounds, expert coaching and Demo Day preparation. - Decision-making & execution under uncertainty
67% of businesses formed new collaborations or partnerships, reflecting increased confidence in execution and external engagement.
Many of our Alumi Accelerator participants moved from reactive day-to-day firefighting toward more structured, intentional ways of building their businesses. These results reflect not just learning, but true application!
