Real Stories, Real Impact: Mentorship in Action
Here is what members of the Startup program have to say about the 1-on-1 mentorship
“In our journey with Intel's startup program, Morphing Machines has experienced a profound transformation. The program's standout qualities are its flexibility and the exceptional dedication of the execution as well as the mentorship team. Our key takeaways include access to diverse expertise, strategic insights, and tailored mentorship, which have been pivotal in shaping our product positioning and overall strategy. The mentors have gone above and beyond to address all the technical challenges we face, and their unwavering support is a motivating force. Continuous guidance from our mentor has helped us make our IP industry-ready and accelerate our development. Hands-on support in micro-architectural aspects has helped Morphing Machines accelerate its design, verification, and emulation roadmaps substantially.”
“The Intel startup program and mentorship have been pivotal in helping us identify product use cases and establish a clear GTM (Go-To-Market) strategy. The program has consistently guided us in shaping an offering directly relevant to data center hardware customers. We extend our gratitude to the Intel Startup Program team for their technical insights, and for facilitating the right BU connections within Intel.”
“We've received IoT edge hardware from Intel, which has significantly enhanced our embedded hypervisor. I've had numerous meetings with my mentor, Siva Kumar, who has exhibited a keen interest in understanding our technology and offering suggestions for enhancement. Siva has also connected us with other relevant teams at Intel, a move that promises to boost our product once we have the bandwidth. Siva's profound knowledge and assistance have been immensely valuable.”
“We thank the Intel India Startup Program for their continued support and enabling frequent deep-dive discussions with Intel mentors in our effort to realize the full potential of High-Performance Computing (HPC) through vectorization, which has translated to a 2x speed-up of simulations for our customers.”
