Back from holidays

Hope your holiday season was great.

It’s Irakli from Combine again. Here’s a brief update on what we’ve been doing for the past few weeks.

First of all, I’m happy to say that we have completed the incorporation in the UK and now we can officially go through the process of due diligence with some of our partners that require it.

On the product side, we are not only continuing to develop the product itself to make it work with local clients in Europe but also conducting user research to better understand our target audience. With help from local mentors and partners of Startupbootcamp, we’ve narrowed down our early adopters to international students and young professionals who are working abroad. We are currently conducting customer development interviews and preparing to talk about the product at some of the universities here in Barcelona.

The negative (question mark) part of our journey so far was the fact that we won’t be using the name “OCTO” for our application, as we were planning to.

Next time you will get an update from me, it will be with the new branding and an updated pitch deck. I’m sure this will happen before the end of January.

Don’t forget that our demo day will take place during Mobile World Congress, on the 28th of February, as a part of 4YFN event. Please let me know if you’re coming — I’ll be happy to meet you again.
