We placed second in the Venture Capital Competition!! 🚀 During our first mentor meeting, we were warned about the drawbacks of diversity, but we found it actually enriched our team. We had access to diverse social circles, which helped us engage many people in user testing. Our concept went through five revisions. As the sole designer, balancing responsibilities was tough while my colleagues focused on finances and analysis.

However, our random crew evolved into a dynamic squad, drawing from my volleyball teamwork experience. If given another chance, I would be more mindful of legal considerations and allocate more time for prototyping. It was a privilege to be surrounded by numerous mentors and talented members in Berkeley, known for its startup initiatives. Pitching to venture capitalists was truly humbling!
