NetApp has excellent channels, sales and marketing programs that we wanted to use because their customers are essentially our prospects. Our mentors here gave us access to APIs and helped us understand how we could connect to customer’s NetApp servers and tell them what is important. We wouldn’t have done it all even if we were given couple of years.

Prakash Baskaran

CEO & Founder, SecurelyShare

The association with NetApp has really helped us. We found an opportunity to integrate with one of the NetApp products. That gives us global access in terms of Go-To-Market with assistance of NetApp Sales & Marketing teams. This would have been much difficult without the NetApp Excellerator program. So, the Go-To Market strategy, especially as a B2B company and NetApp being in the B2B space has really helped us.

NetApp Excellerator program is going from strength to strength. I have been following them from their first cohort seeing the start-ups that have been emerging out of this program. We know many of the companies that have done well after coming out of the program. Start-ups like the ones graduating from NetApp Excellerator are very useful for the ecosystem because they help investors like us to access a more mature set of companies when we look at our investment thesis.

It is not easy to go to a customer for early stage companies, that’s what they make it easy and that also for deep technologies. That’s very good, India needs that.

CEO & Co-founder, SigTuple

NetApp Excellerator has helped us enormously not only on the Go-To-Market but also on the technology side.
