💖 Startup Showcase
“Anvil has provided us a lot of help in terms of equity-free financial support as well as a really experienced advisor.
“We also were granted a huge opportunity to pitch in front of more than 30 VCs and compete for more than $100k in cash prizes.
“Honestly, there is almost no university in the world that could offer such support to its entrepreneurs. Thank you Anvil!”
