Emily Knight, CEO of The Engine Accelerator, states, "It felt like the closer we could get, the more work we could do together, the more we can feed into each other's programs, and ultimately, see more throughput from these proto-founders to entrepreneurs." This highlights the collaboration between Activate and The Engine, aiming to enhance the success rate of budding technical founders.
Cyrus Wadia, CEO of Activate, mentioned, "It's not a universal truth, but what we see is Blueprint participants are better prepared for Activate." This reveals the effectiveness of The Engine's Blueprint program in preparing proto-founders for further development.
Both leaders confirmed that the partnership's goal is to expedite the journey of technical founders, with Wadia noting, "My team was kind of like, can we get more of that?" indicating the interest in improving the pipeline from science to entrepreneurship.
Emily Knight remarked on the early stages of their partnership, stating, "It's too early to talk about that," regarding potential financial exchanges, underscoring the nascent nature of their collaboration and the focus on cooperation.
