Stuttgart – At the end of “Stanley + Techstars – AI in Advanced Manufacturing”, the founding team behind i-flow presented to a large number of international interested parties. The aim of the presentation on Demo Day was to make important contacts.
As part of the global Accelerator Program, a kind of development program for start-ups, work has been carried out on various topics in recent weeks. The focus: At the end of the program, the ten participating companies should be in a position to receive the next round of financing, even if this is not a must. While more advanced start-ups from the Cohort also took advantage of this opportunity, i-flow co-founder Daniel Goldeband focused on a different topic:
Demo Day offers us a great opportunity to make important contacts now. However, it would be too early to obtain the next financing now. We are proud to have been accepted as one of the youngest startups ever at Techstars, considering we were only founded in January. Our focus in the program was primarily on the development of a first usable version of our software.
This was achieved through mentoring discussions with more than 100 experts from the industry, as Goldeband emphasizes.
“Thanks to all the feedback, we were able to ensure that we didn’t miss out on the market. We were able to discuss every interim status with the experts and thus implement valuable improvements,” notes Timo Vormweg, co-founder and chief technical officer.
