While at the C-Level program, I founded
Pompel.io, a universal text analytics platform without the use of a traditional AI/ML-based approach.
I had a startup idea I was keen on and I joined the program to level myself up as a founder and to figure out how to take my idea from zero to one: how to prioritize the problems and industries that my startup’s technology can solve.
After 5 months of the program, I have a plan in mind: we start with GEO data services and product catalogs management and incorporate the company in Europe. Then we expand to healthcare and help to analyze medical records and receipts and then we ride the wave into international exposure.
Where C-Level helped me the most was understanding what investors look for in startups. My product applies to different industries and now I can tailor my pitch to different investors and it works! My team managed to launch two pilot projects with partners and we penetrated new market niches.
Case studies were also very helpful. One of the best insights for me was that I can unbundle my product into smaller ones, improve them and sell them separately.
I found great value in networking. I got access to an incredible community and all of the resources that came with that. We started contemplating joint projects and opportunities for collaboration. Luckily, I’ll continue to be a part of this community even after the program is over.
