HAX Demo Day Success
As a pre-seed startup, a demo day is not just significant; it's the culmination of months of hard work, dedication, and relentless pursuit of our vision. And that’s exactly what SOSV HAX Demo Day in New York was for us!
Let's rewind a bit. Our journey began with a spark of an idea—an idea that we believed had the potential to change lives and disrupt industries. Fuelled by passion and determination, we assembled a team of like-minded individuals, each bringing their unique skills and perspectives to the table. But building a startup is no easy feat, especially when you're venturing into uncharted territory.
Moving to a new continent brought its own set of challenges—cultural differences, unfamiliar markets, and a whole new ecosystem to navigate. Yet, we embraced these challenges head-on, viewing them as opportunities for growth and learning. Preparation for HAX Demo Day was nothing short of intense. Countless late nights, endless brainstorming sessions, and rigorous iterations went into perfecting our pitch and refining our product. We sweated the small stuff—fine-tuning every slide, rehearsing our delivery until it flowed effortlessly, and ensuring our product was polished and ready for its moment in the spotlight. But amidst the chaos and nerves, we found strength in our team.
Together, we weathered the highs and lows of startup life, supporting and encouraging one another every step of the way. It's true what they say—teamwork makes the dream work. And then, the big day arrived. Stepping onto that stage, we felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through our veins. This was our moment to shine, to share our vision with the world and inspire others to join us on this journey of innovation and disruption. We couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished!

3D-Printing Bending Samples: We didn't just meet this target; we exceeded it. Not only did we successfully 3D print bending samples for our product, but we also produced high-quality prototypes that showcased the capabilities and versatility of our technology.
3D-Printing During Demo Day: Yes, it was risky. But sometimes, you have to take risks to stand out from the crowd. And that's exactly what we did. Despite the challenges and uncertainties, we took the bold step of 3D printing live during demo day—a decision that paid off in spades and left a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed it.
Making Investor Contacts: One of the most crucial targets for us was to make meaningful connections with potential investors, and we're thrilled to report that we've achieved this goal as well.
