Moonlight AI has greatly benefited from being part of QAI Ventures' first accelerator batch in 2023. QAI Ventures connected us with a large network of experts and mentors who helped us in optimizing our business and financial strategy. Importantly, since the conclusion of the accelerator, we have remained in lively and regular exchanges and continue to benefit from their advice, especially with regard to fundraising. We look forward to continuing this successful cooperation!

The most impressive part of the QAI Ventures program has to be the mentors. The QAI core team has tons of experience in entrepreneurship, and just hearing their stories was incredibly valuable. They also brought in some amazing speakers who gave us masterclasses on various topics. The most impactful part, though, was the incredible people we met throughout the program. Many mentors helped us navigate the rollercoaster of building a startup, offering guidance and helping us reframe challenges. Other startups also shared their experiences, which was validating throughout the entire process. I now consider many of them close friends, and it’s hard to overstate how valuable that has been for us as founders.
