Our Customers

“As a first-time founder, I feel extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Lanterna. Joyce and Josh meticulously poured their experience and knowledge into me, equipping me with the tools and strategies necessary to move beyond the ideation phase. Through their guidance, I learned to set achievable goals, break down daunting tasks into manageable milestones, and most importantly, stay accountable to myself and my vision.”

Jewel Hurt, Founder
“When I decided to write a business plan for The Valley Foundation, a non-profit organization to help educate children of underprivileged communities in Ghana, I was privileged to have the assistance of Joyce of Lanterna. She helped the planning process by providing tools such as the [Venture Overview] Framework and the Gantt Chart to help me do a thorough planning. She guided me through the process with professionalism and a lot of patience. It has been great working with her and I can confidently recommend her services as trustworthy and credible.”

"Lanterna has provided TomorrowToday with an agile framework to be able to formulate, experiment and build upon our go-to-market experiments. As a solo founder, it's been helpful to have them as thought partners and a sounding board. The team's expertise in the education space has been a catalyst for accelerating TomorrowToday's progress.
