It was a pleasant experience working with UCW and a group of highly energetic MBA students. They did quality research and gave me the latest market trends. They also offered their perspectives on my venture, which allowed me to address some of the blind spots of my operation. Professor Sasha also ran the course well in terms of the usage of my time and my participation in the course.

Sometimes there is a lot that we get blindsided about our own business in the hustle and bustle of juggling between multiple roles to keep things going.
I recommend this exercise to all the startup founders out there.

Sasha has been very helpful and forthcoming with info on the project. This was our first time using Riipen and to be honest, we had no clue what to expect or what to do. Despite the fact that we were very disorganized at the beginning of the project, the students have been patient and have asked many questions and the results were surprisingly insightful and some of the reports we got felt like they were written by professionals. The teacher recorded the presentations because we couldn't attend and provided us with 5 different marketing reports for our business (almost 150 pages for us to read!). It was interesting to see different strategies and points of view from different teams and we will definitely use some of these to grow our little business into something amazing! Thanks again, we hope to be able to collaborate again in the future.

I think the program went ok, but in the end, as a company, we did not really see any benefit. For us, it was about getting some market research done, but what we got from the project was not really suited to the company. Hopefully the students found the project worthwhile and were able to learn.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you and your team and the students. Every interaction with you was professional, very organized and I was excited about all of the prospects. You organized the course work and the students in a way that made it easy to interact with. The meetings were very well organized. The technology was really good and getting into groups with the students was really good. So, I want to commend you for your work. I believe that the students have had an incredible experience with you as a professor, and that after taking the class and being able to work with some industry leaders, they have such a great leg up on other students that only did class work. So, my hat off to you. THANK YOU!
So, from my perspective, the student groups we worked with were incredible. I was very impressed at the level of detail that they provided for the campaigns. They absolutely studied everything and were able to help us set it all up. Way to go!
From beginning on, the expectations were really clearly spelled out, including all the time frames and due dates. As I mentioned, the technology worked great when we had the meetings with the students. I just wish that more startups would be able to experience this and be able to move forward much faster than trying to do it all by themselves.

The course administrator helped a lot in organizing the project and making it run smoothly. The student project groups can work independently to complete the project. Providing them the required information and explaining the scope of work, then they provided marketing strategy plan and analysis which are valuable for preparation of my company's marketing plan. I am very much appreciative of their great jobs.

I want to thank David Keighron and his students Mir Masoud Mohammadi and Nathania Gunawan for the detailed Marketing, Social Media and E-commerce reports they did for our company. It was obvious Mir and Nathania put effort into the research. It was nice to see the two styles of each student's reports. We took away some valuable information that we can use going forward. Kudos!

I worked with faculty member Gifty Parker and her students on a research project. Gifty was organized, supportive and available to assist with any questions. Her students completed a presentation and research on the topic of employee wellness. They were keen to learn, provided interesting questions and were easy to work with. I appreciate the time they took to do research on behalf of KindCo. I would work with UCW again in the future.

It has been a pleasure to work with Dr. Behnaz Gholami and her students. Inform Your Community has benefited greatly from their insights, suggestions, and problem solving. The deliverables of the course matched well with the project needs for my nonprofit.
Students were professional and diligent in their work. Students were assigned to create a strategic plan for executing a new revenue stream for our nonprofit. Students had great flexibility to determine how to pursue each strategy and had three strategies to choose from. Students presented well-researched and persuasive presentations to help Inform Your Community determine it's next steps on these projects.

BTW, I'm trying to rate every part of the experience with 5 ***** and it's only letting me give 4.5!
