Eric Sevillia
Co-founder & CFO of Bignay
“From the caliber of attendees to the engaging speakers to the relevancy of material covered, it was just phenomenal! I studied computer science and business administration, and I feel like I learned more fundamentals at Andrew’s 2-day course than over my four years at USC.”
Meha Agrawal
Founder & CEO of Bridely
“Incredibly insightful, inspiring, yet practical. Other startup events are either good-to-haves or even wastes-of-time… the Roadmap boot camp is a MUST-have.”
Gesche Haas
Founder of Dreamers // Doers
“The program was amazing, well beyond what I was expecting. There was a lot of knowledge packed into 2 days, but it was all relevant and critical for early-stage founders. Learning from Andrew and other speakers who have hands-on experience founding multiple startups was invaluable.”
Ritvik Singh
CEO of PsyInnovations

Joshua Holtzman
Co-founder & CEO of InterviewJet
“Everything about the program felt official. The course material prompted me to think about my business in a more holistic sense. I also thought the group of people that attended was fantastic. Everyone was happy to talk about what they’re building and share their ideas.”
Aaron Flack
Founder of Gravy
“The weekend was fantastic. I met so many amazing people – attendees, speakers, VCs, Andrew’s friends – and I’ve made connections that will make a tremendous difference in how we grow as startup founders. That alone has opened up doors for me and I think it helps many solo founders feel less alone.”
Irene Ryabaya
Co-founder of Monarq
“The event was a huge success! I couldn’t believe all of the content that was offered over such a short period of time. There aren’t many people out there who can hold my attention for two straight days, but Andrew pulled it off with apparent ease.”
Ryan Moore
Co-founder & CEO of The Swatch Box
“It was an amazing opportunity. The most useful part was the encouragement to become knowledgeable in all aspects of running a startup. I think it’s something founders all know but to have it reinforced this way was great.”
Chris Weiher
Founder & CEO of Watch Me Work
“Absolutely awesome. Most start-up events are very high level and not helpful for folks already building their start-ups. The Roadmap boot camp is more of an intensive Startup 202 for founders who are committed to growing their enterprise and need advice for obstacles we’re encountering along the way.”
Elizabeth Galbut
Managing Director & President of John Hopkins Innovation Factory
“It was amazing. Andrew is an expert in the startup world. His presentations are informative and inspiring. He’s really able to relate to early-stage companies that are evolving into the next big thing.”

“Phenomenal. You won’t find another group of industry experts of this caliber who are willing to share their knowledge, experiences (success and failures), and advice for navigating the path to startup success.”
Autumn Adeigbo
Founder & CEO of MAKOKO
I believe there is an unquantifiable metric that has to do with number of brains firing in close proximity. Selecting those brains is one thing, getting them all in the same room is another, and finally igniting them to fire on all cylinders is something else. The feeling is extraordinary.
Winston Ford
Founder of stealth startup
