### "Director, Entrepreneurship at Cornell"

November 2, 2021

5.0

Very positive.

Pros

The different modules are great for ecosystem management. And the Startup Tree team has been responsive in adding more modules.

Cons

Sometimes I have difficulty navigating a module to find what I am looking for. Doesn't happen often.

Reason for choosing StartupTree

The company was started "in my office" by a staff member. Now it has taken off!

### "Great customer support"

April 24, 2023

5.0

Our experience has been positive and it has helped us track our interactions with our students.

Pros

The customer support staff is accommodating and spent a lot of time getting us onboarded.

Cons

It can be hard to find the different areas to judge and review applications when we have several. I would prefer not to have to refer back to the Startup Tree email each time.

### "2x User!"

June 30, 2023

4.0

After utilizing Startup Tree for a previous project, there was no question that this was our preferred solution for launching an all-in-one international platform to bring the Global Health Security Fund together in the digital space. In addition to tailoring our community through customizations and features, what sets Startup Tree apart is the superior customer service and commitment. From day one, Pam worked with us step-by-step, listening and making careful recommendations to ensure our community is an accurate and thorough representation of our organization and offerings. Thanks Startup Tree for creating a centralized solution for our growing ecosystem’s needs!

Pros

Functionality, customer service, quick response time

Cons

Wish some features for invitations/events/networking were more fully developed, but exciting to see progress

### "Amazing service, great value for the price"

January 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

The best part is the consolidation of features into an all in one platform. It makes it much easier than separate solutions.

Cons

I'd like to be able to use all the great features of the platform on the go with my phone, but it's cumbersome to use on mobile.

### "Major time saver"

October 1, 2021

4.0

Pros

It’s easy to use without much instruction, the features like mentoring and competition judging are huge time savers, the startup data dashboard is critical to our reporting, inexpensive compared to other products with similar capacity

Cons

The home page is pretty static, I don’t think anyone uses the forum except the admins to make announcements

### "StartupTree is the Best Entrepreneurship Platform! "

October 11, 2021

5.0

I have had a very positive overall experience with StartupTree and would recommend the platform to anyone!

Pros

I like that the software is easy to use and that the StartupTree website for my university isn't hard to navigate. Through StartupTree, I was able to find a summer internship that I loved!

Cons

There is nothing that comes to mind specifically. I appreciate that the StartupTree team is open to feedback from customers and is always working to improve the software to better meet customer needs.

### "Startup Tree Review"

August 18, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like the fact that we can put all our events, applications, etc on one program.

Cons

I wish email notifications with the links were better and that everyone could add events to their calendar with the event link. I wish we incorporate constant contact for ease in sending emails

### "An Awesome Resource For Student Founders"

January 16, 2022

5.0

A huge plus as a student entrepreneur to build your network and find a community.

Pros

It was really easy to find quality connections with my college community. I found a co founder, hires, and advisors that I've worked with for years through the platform. The community aspect is the most important.

Cons

Have a more casual messaging interface to emulate the features and community you get in a service like Discord.

Response from StartupTree

April 24, 2023

Hi Taqio, thanks for the feedback! DePaul has a vibrant network on StartupTree as well as robust programming, glad you're taking advantage of it! We're going to upgrade our validation error messages — for responses that exceed the Character Limits, etc — since that's one of the reasons why submissions don't go through.

5.0

It’s easy to use and connects me with a ton of resources Including applications, events and mentors. Being able to connect with like minded people is very important to me.

Pros

Able to connect with other entrepreneurs across the network.This is especially useful since everyone on StartUpTree has self selected as being interested in entrepreneurship.

Cons

Haven’t seen any to date. Seems like all the bugs have been worked out.

### "Customer's service is great"

February 21, 2022

5.0

Pros

Customer's service staff responds in short time and was very helpful and professional. My problem was solved within a day.

Cons

I wish it were easier to connect and find with users from other campuses of the startup tree with whom I share similar interests with. Perhaps there could be better interface and website navigation to facilitate network building.

### "Review"

November 10, 2021

4.0

I only used the program to enter in a grant competition held by my school, so I have not experienced all StartupTree has to offer. My overall experience has been very positive, though.

Pros

The form I filled out using StartupTree allowed me to return to it and work at my own pace, over a number of days. This is rare in online applications, and I very much appreciated it.

Cons

The directions for use provided to my by my college were less than helpful: I had to navigate my own way around the site, disregarding the links that my school provided, in order to reset my password. Once I managed to find the proper pages, though, the process was a breeze.
