What our participants say:

  • I had the privilege of participating in the AHK Chicago Bootcamp for U.S. market entry in 2022. Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve been diligently working on entering the U.S. market, and I can confidently say that this journey wouldn’t have been the same without the invaluable support of AHK and their incredible Bootcamp program. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to prepare thoroughly for this monumental step. They connected me with all the essential partners I needed to make this dream a reality.
