Before Bootcamp:
”I really struggled with saving for retirement because there is no system in place when you’re independent. There’s no HR department that tells you what your benefits are- you have to create them.”

Because of Bootcamp:
”I’m saving regularly for retirement and personal/family goals. We’ve set up a Robo investment acccount and are stashing away money regularly. That was something that I had been wanting to do for years. It felt like Hannah explained how that could happen.”
— Rona Chang, Sustainable Clothing Designer
