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.

From startups that BioBoosters has supported, I liked:
Visited local k-space (hacker space) co-working space with various equipment opportunities. Was mainly experimenting with sensor telemetry as a product
Got some follow-up comms later
Gave an remote internship for QA engineers to practice finding bugs, organized by Tallinn Learning school
Said not yet, maybe potential seed round
Huge event, maybe too early for the project

Pitched our project to 500co, which invests in pre-seed companies, mixed portfolio
Got questions
No further follow-up
And quickly undertsood that we cannot qualify for EAS.ee 50k grant because
Grant programm main focus is business growth (not product development) to enter EU markets. Should also be focused (and not spread).
Some screenshots attached below
Gave an interview to Duomedia, Kanal 7, Anna-Maria Ouertani (in russian) about the project
Visited local branch of Founders Live organized by Jaanika Umalas at Palo Alto Club, Tallinn, Estonia where I pitched the project. Got supportive feedback, also pricing questions
