Testimonials
The team that helped us in finding new business opportunities around retirement was very motivated and eager to support us. In a very short period they were able to come up with relevant new ideas we did not think of before. The presentation about their findings was well structured and based on data. We were very happy with the results!
Our Master Challenge team came from a diverse, international background which really helped bring different perspectives and creative ideas. They were committed, always on time with everything, and communicated very well. The students were very autonomous and did not require much guidance or hand-holding from our side, which meant the Master Challenge ended up being a great addition to our project that worked out very well. I believe it’s a low-risk, high-reward initiative that would be useful to most companies!
We could not have expected such a great experience working with the Master Challenge program. The communication, process and overall experience was great. We were paired with a perfect team of enthusiastic students who truly went all out. It was a pleasure working with them but the greatest bonus is that our team built some incredible technology that will aid and advance our services significantly. Thank you team, thank you Master Challenge!
