🎉 Yesterday was the day: at the Business Innovation Center Kaiserslautern GmbH (BIC), a reputable German #AI and Tech think tank in close proximity to Fraunhofer IESE and Fraunhofer ITWM, we had the opportunity to present our startup in front of investors and entrepreneurs from the region, as well as the supporters and organizers of the BIC. The BIC with its Startup Support Camp has been supporting yasAI for the past year not only by providing us with an office space. When you're in the startup game, feedback is crucial. It's what keeps us from getting lost in the hustle and bustle of the business world. Startups are like a rollercoaster ride, juggling all kinds of tasks – from day-to-day stuff to big-picture strategy and product shenanigans. And if you're in the early stages, keeping your eye on the prize can be a real challenge, thanks to those lean operations. That's why the BIC plays a vital role in ensuring that startups can participate in brief pitch sessions every six weeks, providing a platform for experts and investors to offer valuable feedback. Plus, just hanging out with other startups is like a shot of motivation. 🫶 Thanks again to Business Innovation Center Kaiserslautern GmbH for their great support throughout the past year and for having faith in our venture! Also, we feel honored to stand in line with amazing startups like REFACTUM, Ziggurat.ai, Aithericon, Inline Process Solutions, and Full Flamingo. You guys rock! 🤘 P.S.: We totally forgot to take a picture on stage because the stage fright/fever took over 🥲

𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴! 🚀 Yesterday we took part in an event organised by Gründermotor. After an exciting and informative AI workshop of the Fraunhofer IAO 🤖, we went to the ARENA2036, where two startups had the opportunity to pitch in front of a group of industry experts and then had a discussion with Selina Lehmann from MAHLE New Ventures and Ronald Hotz from our team about the requirements and challenges of startup collaborations with corporates. 💡 Here are some of the key learnings: ➡️ Not every collaboration works right from the start. It requires commitment and resilience on both sides. ➡️ Working together to optimise the status quo enables win-win situations for both partners through the development of valuable products and cost savings on the user side. ➡️ Hands-on work on a PoC enables mutual growth. Speed is key to success! Thanks to Tim Gegg for moderating and the Gründermotor team for organizing. We look forward to the next event! 🚀 #STIHL #STIHLVentures #Innovation #Startups #VenturePartnering #VentureClienting

ESSEC- MiM || Seeking Apprenticeship/Alterance opportunities || Leading a Scale-Up Chair || Ex-Infoscian
🌟A Day at Station F: Where Ideas Meet Action” 🌟 What an exhilarating experience it was to step into Station F🚀 , the world's largest startup incubator, right in the vibrant heart of Paris. It's a place where dreams are nurtured🌱, and the future of technology is being written by today's brightest minds. Stepping into Station F transcended mere observation; it was an immersive journey of connection, enlightenment, and inspiration. My trip to Station F shattered the "great idea funding = success" myth 📈. These are table stakes for the startups. But scaling? That's a whole other level game. Having a unique value proposition is key 🔑, but retaining customers for your innovative product/service, finding and retaining the right talent with the right mindset 👥 , and staying ahead in a dynamic field like GenAI – that's the ultimate challenge. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of the most forward-thinking leaders in the industry. Conversations with Charles Doxuan, CMO @ Alcméon, Marin Champenois, CEO @Up&Charge, and Mehdi El Azhari, Founder & CEO @ Hyper Crunch AI were not just insightful—they were transformative. They shared their journeys, the challenges of scaling in the GenAI 🌐 era, and the strategies that have propelled them forward. A heartfelt thanks to Professor David Sluss, Crystèle Juste and the ESSEC's Leading@Scale Chair for orchestrating this unforgettable experience. Their guidance turned a simple visit into a profound growth experience, fueling our entrepreneurial passions🔥. Incubators like Station F are not just a place, it's a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit, and a reminder that with the right support and community, startups can soar to incredible heights🏆. #StationF #Innovation #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #TechLeadership #Gratitude #LearningJourney #ScaleUpSuccess
