Representatives of the first batch companies described the key mentors of the Estonian health tech accelerator as precise and helpful experts who have contributed to their business growth through sharing contacts and knowledge. Gratitude and satisfaction were evident in the feedback. Companies were also satisfied with the expertise of the science mentors, although there was some criticism regarding one of the mentors' different field of specialization. There was a lot of positive thoughts, with keywords such as assistance, asking the right questions, and supporting development being mentioned. Satisfaction with field-specific mentors was great, although two teams did not see the need for additional guidance from field-specific mentors in their activities.
