Joining the program was one of the best decisions in my entrepreneurial journey. I was impressed by how amazingly the mentors connected startups in Taiwan with resources from Silicon Valley.

Preciser wouldn't exist without 886 Studios. 886 gave me the structure and direction I needed to take Preciser from MVP to Launch but also pushed, challenged, and guided me through the steps, insecurities, and excitement of building an impact-led business.
