Reflecting on the journey: preML GmbH has been automating visual quality control for 3 years! 🚀 In 2021, we embarked on our first preML founders retreat in Lisbon during #WebSummit. This experience played a crucial role in shaping our medium and long-term strategy for our young startup. Breaking away from our daily routines, living and working together, adopting a "vacation mindset" allowed us to align personal development and life goals with our company objectives. As we recently celebrated the 3-year anniversary of our formal company registration, we felt it was the perfect time to revisit this valuable tradition! Due to cost and weather considerations 😉, we found ourselves back on the Iberian Peninsula—this time in #Valencia. I'm thrilled to spend the upcoming days with my two co-founders Lucas Steinmann and Jonas Fehrenbach, crafting the growth trajectory for preML over the next 3 years. A big thanks to everyone who has supported us on this incredible journey. 🙏 #preML #FoundersRetreat #StartupLife #journey #lifegoals #computervision #preML #visualqualitycontrol

Continuing with our series of sharing thoughts from our Spring cohort sessions! We were joined by Josefiina Kotilainen, CEO of Startup Foundation to share her thoughts on financial modeling for early-stage founders. Thank you Josefiina for joining! Succeeding by accident is rare, which is why here at Kiuas we believe in deliberately building towards it. With our ongoing batch we dove into the topic of crafting a financial model already during the first week of the accelerator program. Crafting even a simple one gives the founders and any other stakeholders an overview of the key value drivers, potential bottlenecks and challenges of the business, which helps them to take action and build a functional strategy to support the assumptions.

With the Demo Day of our Winter Batch getting closer, last Friday, the founders had 2 sessions to prepare for the big day 👀 Fundraising Strategy with Manuel Barbosa (Semapa Next) & Delivering a Great Pitch with João Marques dos Santos (Stake Ventures) Here are the valuable lessons and tips that stood out ⭐ - When talking with investors, feel free to ask questions about what they think about your own business and the strategies you are thinking about doing - The other way around also is very important. Ask investors questions to understand their fund strategy and other relevant topics - When talking to an investor, make it more of a conversation rather than a pitch - View questions as pure engagement - Understand the type of pitch (teaser, investment, demo, etc) you should do according to your goal on that occasion - Each slide should be carefully thought of, matching the storytelling and the goal of that pitch Although most of the audience (83%) mentioned they already had their pitch deck ready, this session was critical in providing them with valuable tips to feel 10/10 ☑️ ready to pitch and answer questions from the jury on Demo Day 🎙️!
