Q I'm glad that there was nothing negative because I've heard horror stories, but mostly around other accelerators that I won't name. So I'm glad that Alchemist has a good reputation. So the whole point of this exercise was to get onto the stage on demo day. How did you prepare for demo day? And what was the day like? Was it different than you expected? Did your preparations actually work?
A Two weeks before the demo day, I started to create the pitch deck, and then they have kind of rehearsal and feedback session, looking at the classmates pitch deck, and then, you know, revising it, writing down the script, practicing it with the other classmates, and so on. Demo day, that was actually, like, bigger than I expected. The venue was so huge. There was, like, you know, 300 to 400 investors. 4000 people watched the stream. Of course, I was pretty nervous because like you, you would only have a four minutes, but it was very fun. I could make a good pitch after the pitch that not only the investor in the venue, but also like, ah, the joining online, they, they have a mobile web app that has kind of like a button for each, each companies. Like, you know, if you want to invest in a company, you, you kind of like a press the button. Okay. I want to invest in this company or like, I want to talk to this company. I got many emails. Then after that, like, you know, we aggressively, like, arranging the meetings, then, you know, try to, like, raise capital. So, yeah, that was pretty busy after that.
