We are glad to announce that we have published our whitepaper on entrance observer field testing. Feel free to research and contact us for more details.

We're pitching Gratheon to Tehnopol's AI Accelerator program with the following structure:
Our primary goal is to make Gratheon production- and GTM ready (securing first paying customers!) by focusing on targeted product development.
We've divided our 6-month plan into three key product areas, allocating 2 months to each:
Why: This AI-driven approach differentiates us from existing IoT solutions in the beekeeping market and adds significant value for beekeepers.
Why: These improvements will increase the value proposition for customers who manage apiaries through frame photos, providing meaningful statistics and insights that drive initial customer acquisition.
Why: This creates a new product offering (entrance camera + GPU) with minimal development effort, while establishing a foundation for future iterations on more cost-effective and energy-efficient devices (ESP32 cam, Raspberry Pi).
Visited event organized by Tehnopol. We've submitted application to be in the next batch. Had networking with local AI community
Had a meeting with VIRUMAA DIGI- JA ROHETEHNOLOOGIATE INNOVATSIOONIKESKUS representatives (engineers, researchers and managers) on the topic of research and development collaboration with Gratheon. Seems like the most suitable topic is the area of IoT devices.
We talked about the project and its market, past experience of the team, funding sources, some technical details.
Specifically
Led by Reet Allik and Lauri Vilibert, this webinar explains how robotics is being taught in local Estonian schools from the first grades and higher. https://www.facebook.com/events/1226346678472001
In short, schools use Lego Spike Prime. More advanced VEX modules were recommended too.
We took part in Founder Institute online 1 min pitch practicing and getting feedback from the mentors. Regine Harr gave a good advice on elevator pitch structure.
We now have shorter and more emotional elevator pitch structure. We tested it on other mentors and got positive feedback.
We got questioned by Dr. Raashid Saiyed on why we are open source, ๐ Market analysis and
We're excited to announce that we join NVIDIA Inception Program!
As we are relying on edge devices for video monitoring of bees and we are using NVidia Jetson Nano and Orin, it is natural for us to seek more knowledge and deeper research, gain pricing benefits on devices and have better reach to NVIDIA associated communities of engineers, startups and potential investors. This will especially crucial for robotic beehive.
According to Program Terms and Conditions, we may benefit from:
We are excited to participate in the "Data Storm" hackathon, which focuses on utilizing open government data from Estonia, particularly in areas such as environment, weather, hydrology, and alerts. Our project addresses challenges related to storm winds collapsing beehives and proposes a solution in the form of weather alerts.
