EF turned me - a Computer Science graduate with a vague interest in startups - into the founder of an angel-backed startup.

The pace of learning during the six pace programme is rapid, but that's not what I see as most important. I'm most grateful for them giving me the opportunity to start my own thing straight out of university.

Without EF, I would have been forced to get a graduate job at a tech company in order to pay the bills. Building a startup in London would have been orders of magnitude harder. I know people who are trying to build products in their spare time, and it's tough.

Thanks to EF, I'm now running a five-person company with nearly 10,000 users.

Oh, and I met my co-founder on the programme. Not bad.
