With WAIBRO I founded a help tech startup and led the development of an assistive smart wearable for blind & visually impaired users — covering product strategy, UX research, patents, funding acquisition, team leadership, and product design. Although we successfully developed a working MVP, fund raising activities for the next steps like certification and production haven’t been successful - I had to stop all research and development activities in 2023. Gained experiences in: • Leadership • Business Development & Teamleading • Writing and Managing Patent Applications • Financial planning & funding acquisition • Building a valuable network in relevant fields for business and innovation consultancy, funding acquisition, knowledge exchange, and R&D cooperations • Creating product concepts & designing product interactions • Practicing UX methods and agile methodologies • Conducting user tests • Project management & product management • Creating and validating business models • Marketing & graphic design • Presentation skills and storytelling For more information about the project and Startup check out our Instagram and Facebook channel: https://www.instagram.com/waibrosports https://www.facebook.com/waibrosports
