  • The hustle: Icueity is an app that promotes self-awareness and more skilled leadership through peer feedback, similar to a continuous 360 review.
  • Quoted: “After building a prototype of my startup app idea, I can’t give Designli a high enough recommendation. They’re able to communicate clearly, without developer jargon, and are committed to my success.”
  • Best thing about entrepreneurship: “Empowering others. I have the awesome responsibility of helping people live happier, more productive lives through curiosity, vulnerability and self-awareness.”

2. Kevin Nadeau | Founder of True Load Time

  • The hustle: True Load Time is a platform that solves a billion-dollar-a-year problem in the logistics industry by determining average wait times at shipper and receiver locations.
  • Quoted: “Their communication is fantastic. Especially as a non-tech person, it’s truly helpful for them to break it down so I can understand what they’re doing.”
  • Best thing about entrepreneurship: “The flexibility. My job in the industry required that I be available 24/7, so being able to set my own schedule and priorities now has been a positive.”

3. Allan Symonette | Founder of Surcee

  • The hustle: Surcee is a giving + sharing platform where people can communicate their interests (like a wish-list), and their friends + family can scope out potential gifts.
  • Quoted: “I had an idea but no knowledge of how to make it something real. Designli’s unique path to a finished app is a process I could understand and appreciate as a first-time entrepreneur.”
  • Best thing about entrepreneurship: “It feels like becoming a parent for the first time. My baby is about to be born.”
