Testimonals
They talk about it better then we do
I’ve attended several similar events, but the Walifornia Accelerator is the best by a long way. The pitch training was another level and very comprehensive, the mentors were extremely high calibre, international businesspeople, the organisational structure was first class, and we met a number of very valuable contacts – a couple of which have invested or have accelerated our journey. I can’t recommend Walifornia enough.
Participating in the Wallifornia accelerator pushed us to think differently on positioning, and it is always great to get to know other music tech founders from Europe!
The acceleration program has been more than beneficial for us, enabling us to work on our growth levers, meet new partners and even a new investor. Thanks once again to the Walifornia team for this great experience!
Wallifornia has always provided both myself and un:hürd music an opportunity to meet innovators and decision makers within the music-tech arena. From pitching to hosting panels and just the general networking available at the conference, I’ve always found there to be an excellent value exchange from the attendees and participants.
The Wallifornia Accelerator empowered us to craft a compelling startup pitch. It’s easy to underestimate how challenging it is to convey both vision and execution in just a few minutes, but the Wallifornia team guided us through every nuance. From clarifying our overarching vision and refining our business model to targeted coaching sessions and razor‑sharp investor feedback, their expertise helped us nail every detail.
Highly recommend looking into the accelerator. We were selected in 2023 and Tickets for Good won the Wallifornia pitch competition that same year. This program was and is a big part of our growth as a company and for my personal development as a founder.
Delighted to have taken part in Walifornia! It was a great opportunity to meet many players in the ecosystem. I was also lucky enough to meet some of the investors from Bridge.audio’s second round of financing. A really friendly and constructive event!
