During the competition, we overheard…
“
"I didn't even know Insight Partners existed! And distance learning wasn't the
most exciting (for me)... but this was great! It gives an opportunity to get out of
the box. Like, picture yourself as a CEO..." student, Insight Partners
" The one thing I wish someone had told me at your age was... there's only a
couple years separating you and the people you look up to. Like, your role-
models have been in your shoes once, and it probably wasn't that long ago. You
can do the same things as them!” - coach, Insight Partners
"Yeah, I learned things... but more excited about meeting the coaches! The
coaches this week were awesome! We're planning to start a podcast and we're
definitely going to have them on!" - student, Insight Partners
