"There has been a steady stream of very high quality people that the Icehouse has brought in from around the world and provided M-Com access to. The ICEHOUSE assisted in the creation of an M-Com advisory group, introducing M-Com to excellent advice that continues to participate in the business today.  Since graduating, M-Com has continued to gain value from The ICEHOUSE in terms of accessing its network and learning from group/alumni interaction, speakers and papers."
