“We were really impressed at the level of entrepreneurial talent and the success of the first cohort,” Sean Reel, executive director of Ignite Bermuda, said, “We will continue to build a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem for Bermuda. Our first cohort of entrepreneurs, have had access to world-class advisers and mentors in addition to our entrepreneurship curriculum.
