When did you know that your company idea had to become reality?
We’ve had the idea in our minds for a while, however, it really hit us when we realized that Aiphoria was needed in today's society. The lack of motivation we saw in today’s youth made us even more motivated to have a kickstart. The more time we spent on the idea we understood how unique our concept was and how much potential it had. It needed a breakthrough.
What value does Minc bring into your journey?
So far it has brought us knowledge and given us a new perspective of thinking.
What's the best thing about Minc?
We know that we have a source to turn to if we need any kind of advice or motivation when we’re stuck. Minc’s weekly open desk, the workshops, and the workspace, in general, is a huge help!
If your company would be a tool, what would it be?
It would be a virtual best friend.
We're glad to have you in the house Aiphora and good luck in the future! Do you have a business idea you want to develop? Apply to Startup Labs!
