Biggest accomplishment/connection during the program? We launched our first-ever live trial and expanded our footprint to the United States. Our team exploded to eight people, making ollo one of the largest and coolest startup companies in history (we aren’t two nerdy dudes in a basement anymore). 

Mind-blowing moment or self realization about your business over the last 90 days? There’s always room for more BBQ ribs, but the trick is bigger pants.

Words of wisdom for the next class? Interns are a great and plentiful resource, but don’t get them wet or feed them after midnight! Remember to take full advantage of the free meals.

What is the one thing you miss the most from your home town? Meat pies with dead horse, pavlova, and driving on the correct side of the road.

Your team has just been elected as the Mayor of KC… first order of business? Move the entire town to the beach… or Australia.

Kansas City’s best kept secret… We keep asking, but no one seems to understand our accents.
