Some words from our previous finalists

After winning Techarenan Challenge, I have been contacted by at least 15 investors, and yesterday we finalized a deal for the next funding round! This deal significantly increases our valuation.

We've been a part of this incredibly exciting network of entrepreneurs spanning from various industries. Following each other's journeys isn't just inspiring; it's extremely rewarding as we learn from how things unfold for others who started from a similar position. Additionally, I've maintained active communication with representatives from the other companies, and together we continue to open doors for one another.
