Chapter 6: “Winners”
Less than a week after the platform launch at Berkeley, we found ourselves in Frankfurt, at Niccolò’s alma mater—the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management—where we had spent months in their accelerator program. Now, it was time for Demo Day. Five VCs were ready to judge the best projects in front of a packed audience, organized by Ram Shoham, the director of the Entrepreneurship Center.
The pressure was on, but we were ready. After all the pitches, Posto was declared the winner, snagging a €30,000 prize along with a valuable network of investors. It wasn’t just about the money; we left with the credibility and connections that would shape our next steps.
