Last week I had the chance to pitch topshelf at ESMT Berlin. As I climbed the stage, it felt surreal considering just few months ago we were still figuring out what and how to build and validating the idea. And now we have our Beta version of app already that we are rigorously testing with test users, jumping across towns pitching to brands, investors, and at multiple pitch competitions the same week. It's been fast paced, but a whole lot of fun! Thanks The DigitalFuture Summit at ESMT Berlin and Vali Berlin - Entrepreneurship Hub at ESMT for organizing the event and inviting us! Also thanks to the jury Cephas Ndubueze, Theresia M.R. Heinrich, Joachim Behrendt and Rosa Maria F. and the amazing crowd your thought provoking questions and insightful feedback. We take every insight seriously! Watch us! topshelf is launching soon 😉 #DigitalFutureSummit #ESMT #ESMTBerlin #PitchCompetition #Entrepreunership

💥 Visibility and founder’s mindset 💥 We ended the week with a very inspirational talk and super cozy community event at Grace with Jen Martens, the founder of ŌMAKA Naturkosmetik and Grace alumna 🧡 We deep-dived into Jen's entrepreneurial journey, how she started, and how she is sharing her story and all the challenges that she faced that actually got her out of her comfort zone, developed a founder's mindset, overcame self-doubt. Jen went so personal and answered all the questions from the fellow entrepreneurs in the event, if you missed it here are some of the learnings: 🌟 Build your mastermind group and network, they will get you when you need the most! 🌟 Stay true to yourself, your story and trust the process. 🌟 Share your authentic story and your process of founding a company. Thank you so much Jen for being with us while sharing so vulnerably and giving actionable tips for the Grace community, we are so proud that we have been part of your journey and really excited for more achievements from you! Thank you so much to all the founders who joined us yesterday, it was so good seeing familiar faces and getting to know new and more female founders who shared their challenges and process. Let us know who we should invite next in the comments and stay tuned for upcoming events at Grace. ___ #visibility #Mindset #founder #networking #personaldevelopment #womenday #femalefounders #womeninbusiness #successstory #graceaccelerator #community

✨ "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."✨ People in the startup bubble are familiar with this quote by Reid Hoffman, yet launching your first version always feels a bit daunting. At yesterday's Femme Palette event at Find Your Wine Match in Berlin, I discussed our approach of iterative app testing and the whirlwind of early user experiences. Questions abound: Do people like the product? Does it add value? Which features are hits and which miss the mark? Our testing approach at topshelf is straightforward, yet impactful: With each iteration, we onboard an increasing number of users to the platform and refine based on their feedback. ⏩ Test - Analyze - Iterate - Repeat ⏪ We started with 5 users, then added 10, then 20, then 50....,100...., gradually expanding until we meet our active user and retention benchmarks for our public launch. For more insights, feel free to reach out to Sushrut Chafadker and me. We're eager to share our learnings. And if you're interested in testing the topshelf app yourself, sign up for our waitlist (link in comments). Special thanks to Lucie Neumanova, Gaia Zanocco, and Małgorzata Kielak for a wonderfully organized event. #apptesting #startupevent #startupberlin #apps

Road to Start Summit - What an event 😍 Last Friday, Sushrut Chafadker and I had the opportunity to pitch topshelf at START Berlin's Road to Start Summit. From application to the execution, everything was so professionally managed and organized by the great team Mahir Isikli, Javiera Rubio Di Biase and more. Thanks a lot! Receiving feedback and challenging questions from investors is amazing, but what excites us even more are the people who come to us afterwards to say that they love the product 🤝 All the best for the amazing startups on stage (heyroom, PLENO, Mateo, Athletic-IQ, HonestDog, Mioto Labs) and congrats Carbonsate to win the competition! #pitchbattle #RTSS #StartBerlin #StartSummit
