Testimonials

“What it gave us was a capacity to start.

In fact, a company generally starts without a lot of funds, a lot of cash, etc.

Thanks to this partnership, we were able to staff fairly large teams thanks to AVISTO engineers (an ADVANS Group company) and start substantial projects with clients from day one.

And that’s an incredible opportunity compared to other small companies that start without financing.
