On Thursday, we pitched GearUp at Venture Café Berlin. It was my first time presenting a venture in front of an audience like this, and I had a surprisingly good time doing it. Standing on stage is one of those things that always feels a little uncomfortable beforehand, but once you’re up there, it’s actually pretty fun. We received valuable feedback, challenged some of our assumptions, and met a bunch of interesting people along the way. What started as a university project is slowly beginning to attract attention beyond the classroom. It’s still early days, but seeing people genuinely interested in what we’re building feels pretty surreal. Let’s see where this takes us. Ishita Jaiswal Johannes Jordan Maëlle Geoffroy Tommaso Bauer
