“Without CyberASAP I would now be enjoying my retirement and probably getting bored! Because of CyberASAP I spent a year running a new university spin-out SME, creating a fully functional MVP, working with R&D partners, and then finally being acquired by a larger SME and being made Product Director of the MVP we developed.”
