“If I had had access to RebelBase at the beginning, I believe I would have made less mistakes and seen the pitfalls . . . and been able to plan for them much better. I believe I would have been able to launch much sooner as well. It was very helpful to have these guide rails to focus on the one thing that I was doing. . . . This helped me to realize . . . where is my passion, and is it a viable market.”

“RebelBase [helped] reshape the way I think when it comes to attacking the problem. I’ve never started a business before. It showed me how to analyze a market . . . how to look at a situation . . . in a strategic way to be able to shape it into the solution that I want it to be.”
