☀️ Heatwave in Berlin, and it wasn't just the weather! 🔥 What happens when you combine 29°C, a room full of VEECEE 120 top VCs, the inspiring #shetransformsIT initiative, and 13 powerhouse female-led AI companies? You get the Google for Startups Accelerator Women Founders Demo Day – an unforgettable whirlwind of innovation, connection, and empowerment! 🚀 On June 26th, I had the privilege of witnessing these incredible women showcase their game-changing AI solutions after 12 weeks of intensive mentorship, training and connection with Google's network of experts. From AI-powered life planners for families (thanks, Aurora First) to cybersecurity guardians protecting businesses from phishing attacks (Malloc (YC S21), you're amazing!) and redefining fashion with truly sustainable solutions (yoona.ai (Techstars ´21)), these founders are redefining what's possible. 💡 But it's not just about the technology. It's about the camaraderie, the resilience, and the shared vision for a future where AI is built for and by everyone – with a distinctly female lens. 🌍 Calling all startups tackling Climate change or building AI First businesses!

Today, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've had at yoona.ai (Techstars ´21).ai and share some of our most significant achievements with you. Please read until the end or at least ⏩ to 🏁 🔴 🔸 2024: Chosen as one of the 28 startups building 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱'𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 in The Woman Led Google for Startups program. This recognition underscores our commitment to leveraging technology for meaningful impact and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. 🔸 2023: Secured 2nd place in "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲" launched by AUDI AG and encourageventures e.V. e.V. This achievement is a testament to our team's dedication and hard work, proving that innovation and perseverance go hand in hand. 🔸 2023: Honoured as the "𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟯𝗗 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺" at The European Metaverse Awards and received the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe's "𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯" award for our event series #Yoonaverse. These accolades reflect our pioneering spirit and dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements. 🔸 Personal Achievements: Recognised as one of the 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 by STRIVE Magazine and received the 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆.

These recognitions align perfectly with our core values of sustainability and responsible innovation. These awards inspire us to continue striving for excellence and remind us that with dedication and a clear vision, we can achieve remarkable things. 🏁 🔴 However, it's important to remember that recognition doesn't always come immediately. Many brilliant minds, such as Vincent van Gogh and Emily Dickinson, were celebrated only after their passing. Their stories teach us that while accolades are important, the true value of our work lies in its impact and legacy. At yoona.ai (Techstars ´21).ai, we are committed to making a difference, whether or not the world is watching. We believe in our mission and in the transformative power of our technology. We celebrate these achievements as milestones, but we remain focused on the road ahead, driven by our vision and passion see more here 👉 www.yoona.ai Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Here’s to many more milestones and breakthroughs ahead! #Innovation #Leadership #AI #Tech #Awards #WomenInTech #Motivation
